Ontology Specification Draft

Introduction back to ToC

This ontology provides a formal, machine-interpretable representation of core knowledge in casting, materials behavior, and manufacturing operations.

It presents a first step toward building an AI-native semantic infrastructure for the casting, materials and manufacturing.

The primary goals of this ontology are to:

The ontology is implemented in OWL and released in accordance with FAIR principles to ensure findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability.
