Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) system technology is a key element for the realization of the Industry 4.0 vision, as it is vital for tasks such as entity tracking, identification and asset management. However, the plethora of RFID systems’ elements in combination with the wide range of factors that need to be taken under consideration along with the interrelations amongst them, make the problem of identification and design of the right RFID system, based on users’ needs particularly complex. The research outlined in this paper seeks to optimize this process by developing an integrating schema that will encapsulate this information in a form that is both human and machine processible. Human readability will allow a shared understanding of the RFID technology domain; machine readability, automated reasoning engines to perform logical deduction techniques returning implicit information. For this purpose, the novel RFID System Configuration Ontology (RFID SCO) is developed. Hence, non-RFID experts are enabled to identify the most suitable RFID system according to their needs and RFID experts to retrieve all the relevant information required for the efficient design of the corresponding RFID system. The RFID SCO is validated and tested successfully against real-world scenarios provided by domain experts.

通过语义建模增强 RFID 系统配置

射频识别 (RFID) 系统技术是实现工业 4.0 愿景的关键要素，因为它对于实体跟踪、识别和资产管理等任务至关重要。然而，过多的 RFID 系统元素以及需要考虑的范围广泛的因素以及它们之间的相互关系，使得基于用户需求的正确 RFID 系统的识别和设计问题尤为突出。复杂的。本文概述的研究旨在通过开发一个集成模式来优化这一过程，该模式将把这些信息封装成一种人机可处理的形式。人类可读性将允许对 RFID 技术领域的共同理解；机器可读性，自动推理引擎执行逻辑推理技术，返回隐含信息。为此，开发了新颖的RFID系统配置本体（RFID SCO）。因此，非 RFID 专家能够根据他们的需要确定最合适的 RFID 系统，并且 RFID 专家能够检索到有效设计相应 RFID 系统所需的所有相关信息。RFID SCO 已针对领域专家提供的真实场景成功验证和测试。非 RFID 专家可以根据他们的需要确定最合适的 RFID 系统，并且 RFID 专家可以检索到有效设计相应 RFID 系统所需的所有相关信息。RFID SCO 已针对领域专家提供的真实场景成功验证和测试。非 RFID 专家可以根据他们的需要确定最合适的 RFID 系统，并且 RFID 专家可以检索到有效设计相应 RFID 系统所需的所有相关信息。RFID SCO 已针对领域专家提供的真实场景成功验证和测试。
