Cube Model
Cube Example read from protege ontology for process modelling.
read to Vanguard system for calculation of results
these are test values only, the Vanguard model enables the choice between Rivetting and Welding, and builds, the process, and cost tree for either, according to user selections.
This example is provided to illustrate the structure and process for creating the ontology, model, and visualisation/representation used for this 3 step translation process.
The cube model, as for all the engineering/process models is made up of the definition of the cube, and a colour coded representation of all the processes, materials, tooling, consumables, resources, and rates used for the manufacture of the cube; these are read in from the ontology in response to user choices. This makes it possible to investigate scenarios such as in this case whether to manufacture using welding, or riveting, and different options for use of tooling, consumables, resources, and rates. From investigating different options, different trees are created to represent different paths/options, and from this the production cost tree is created with results and feedback on exactly what made up the process/cost.
In this example aluminium was chosen as the material, and riveting was chosen as the process. This example also illustrates how the Vanguard System modelling tool automatically combines units appropriately.

The version I use on this page is HTML based rather than XML. I have not yet created and tested a working XML version for Mozilla Firefox. For Firefox I need to change type="text/xsl" to type="application/xsl" in the SiteMap.xml file. This allows the stylesheet to work but it does not work as I intend. I will examine this in future.
