Abstract

Knowledge transfer to next-generation engineers is an urgent issue in Japan. In this paper, we propose a new approach without costly OJT (on-the-job training), that is, combinational usage of domain and rule ontologies and a rule-based system. A domain ontology helps novices understand the exact meaning of the engineering rules and a rule ontology helps them get the total picture of the knowledge. A rule-based system helps domain experts externalize their tacit knowledge to ontologies and also helps novices internalize them. As a case study, we applied our proposal to some actual job. We also did an evaluation experiment for this case study and have confirmed that our proposal is effective.
