In this paper we presented a systematic and generic method for developing ontologies from existing models and how to apply DL rules in an efficient and simple manner for developing a consistent, logically supported and with the desired level of expressivity model.
Further development of research includes: to develop more complicated case studies, with more data and more complicated rules, to increase expressivity and test scalability, to test function and behaviour of existing or new PLM models, to incorporate new functionalities such as decision making in the ontologies and compare their efficiency to ordinary systems.
