Abstract

Nowadays one of the biggest problems many manufacturing companies face is the loss of knowledge from the information it possesses. Whether it tries to make business or improves the exchange of information within its different areas, valuable knowledge does not reach all stakeholders due to abstraction and ambiguity. A clear example in which both problems have a clear effect in terms of knowledge loss occurs during the interpretation of Computer-Aided Designs (CAD). If there is no experience doing such task the only data extracted will be limited to the elements contained on the drawing. By creating a semantic model we are able to know the contents specific details of a CAD without the use of a graphical tool, also ambiguity problems disappear as the terms used on the semantic model are based on a controlled vocabulary derived from an ontology.
