Abstract: 

As production becomes more specialized, product data sharing and exchange between specialized parts manufacturers and complete machine manufacturers have become an urgent demand. In this study, we first present a meta model of a supplier library based on PLIB ontology and ISO13584 and then propose a graph-structured semantic model (named as form feature dependency semantic (FFDS) graph in this paper) to formally represent the structure of parts (form features and their topological relationships). Moreover, we propose a new method for part similarity measurement using FFDS graph, as well as discuss the technical details of this method. The proposed method ensures the success of the structure feature-based retrieval in part search procedure. A case study was presented to demonstrate the proposed method.
