Ontology of Computer-Aided Process Engineering (OntoCAPE)

Overview

OntoCAPE is a large-scale ontology for the domain of Computer Aided Process Engineering (CAPE). Represented in a formal, machine-interpretable ontology language, OntoCAPE captures consensual knowledge of the process engineering domain in a generic way such that it can be reused and shared by groups of people and across software systems. On the basis of OntoCAPE, novel software support for various engineering activities can be developed; possible applications include the systematic management and retrieval of simulation models and design documents, electronic procurement of plant equipment, mathematical modeling, as well as the integration of design data from distributed sources.

Usage Example

from ontolearner.ontology import OntoCAPE

# Initialize and load ontology
ontology = OntoCAPE()
ontology.load("path/to/ontology.owl")

# Extract datasets
data = ontology.extract()

# Access specific relations
term_types = data.term_typings
taxonomic_relations = data.type_taxonomies
non_taxonomic_relations = data.type_non_taxonomic_relations

Annotate a process engineering project with OntoCAPE terms to specify process types, equipment, and data, enabling semantic search and integration with process informatics platforms.
