Research

My research interests includes ontology-based modeling of artifacts, engineering knowledge management, and practical ontology development. Three central research aims are:

1. To articulate fundamental concepts important to human's naive understanding of artifacts,
2. To develop ontologies of such concepts as a basis of systematic knowledge modeling,
3. To realize knowledge management systems in engineering domain based on them, and
4. To investigate practical ontology development through the research mentioned above.
