Abstract

This paper discusses some of the current challenges for knowledge exploitation and sharing in petrochemical domains and provides one approach to utilizing ontologies to solve some of those problems. By building ontological profiles that accurately classify kinds of crude oils, petroleum products and refineries, the ontology proved capable of providing significant inferential capabilities that were useful for optimizing numerous phases of the petrochemical life cycle.
