Research Abstract |
Functionality is a crucial concept in knowledge representation of artifacts and biological organs. Many definitions have been proposed in several research areas. It decreases interoperability of functional knowledge between different domains. In this research, adopting interdisciplinary approach, those definitions of function have been categorized and the relationships among them have been clarified. Then, an upper-level reference ontology of function has been established. It increases interoperability of functional knowledge. The research results suggested the possibility of a unified core definition of function. Then, research toward this direction with a new grant-in-aid for scientific research had been started.
