Component Specifications

Definition
A specialized database system that organizes cost elements into hierarchical taxonomies with defined relationships, attributes, and metadata for industrial cost analysis. It serves as the knowledge base for the Cost Element Extractor machine, enabling automated identification, classification, and tracking of cost components across manufacturing processes.
Working Principle
Operates on ontology engineering principles using semantic web technologies (RDF, OWL) to create machine-readable cost models. It employs inference engines to deduce relationships between cost elements based on defined rules and axioms, allowing for automated classification and consistency validation of cost data.
Materials
Digital infrastructure: Server hardware (typically enterprise-grade servers with RAID storage), database software (SQL/NoSQL systems like PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or specialized semantic databases like GraphDB), and network components for data integration.
Technical Parameters
  • Data Model OWL 2 DL ontology
  • API Support RESTful API with JSON-LD
  • Concurrency Supports 100+ simultaneous users
  • Backup System Automated daily incremental + weekly full backups
  • Query Language SPARQL 1.1
  • Storage Capacity Minimum 1TB scalable architecture
Standards
ISO 8000, ISO 22745, IEC 62264, ISO 15926
