Swop
Semantic Web-based Open engineering Platform
Document Actions
SWOP offers a radically new and extensible approach for ICT support in fast and flexible
production of customised but industrialised complex products and services.
The SWOP approach is a breakthrough in manufacturing, which will be validated by four business cases.
It combines a generic, open, semantic, standard-based, distributed engineering platform with
intensive input of knowledge capital of engineering and expertise expressed in parametric object
catalogues together with reference design patterns.
The platform bases on two tightly integrated state-of-the-art ICT technologies with high potential
for business application and impact:
- Semantic Web technologies and
- Genetic Algorithms for smart manipulation of semantic data.
