abstract:
We present a preliminary high-level formal theory, grounded
on knowledge representation techniques and foundational ontologies, for
the uniform and integrated representation of the dierent kinds of (qualitative
and quantitative) knowledge involved in the designing process. We
discuss the conceptual nature of engineering design by individuating and
analyzing the involved notions. These notions are then formally characterized
by extending the DOLCE foundational ontology. Our ultimate
purpose is twofold: (i) to contribute to foundational issues of design;
and (ii) to support the development of advanced modelling systems for
(qualitative and quantitative) representation of design knowledge.
