Open Integrated Semantic Component Design Technology
The Digital revolution in industry is supposed to cover all stages of the product life cycle, including product design and planning of manufacturing processes. At these stages, goods and processes are not accomplished as real things but formed as models in the virtual world. Therefore, the Internet of Things concept, the basis of the “Industry 4.0” project, is not sufﬁcient to conduct a fullscale digital revolution. The key methodology to examine this problem is the methodology of artiﬁcial intelligence. It provides for comprehensive consideration of the problems that arise at all stages of the life cycle of engineering products. The Internet of Knowledge has an ontological basis and includes meta-ontology, which comprises the ontology of objects, the ontology of tasks and the ontology of optimization. The Digital Revolution should give the knowledge carriers without programming skills an opportunity to enter pieces of information into the computer without intermediaries. The materials of the paper are of practical value for the creation of integrated automation systems of engineering products design and production.
