Abstract

Design Knowledge Design Thinking External Behaviour External Function External World
This paper shows how the function-behaviour-structure (FBS) ontology can be used to represent processes despite its original focus on representing objects. The FBS ontology provides a uniform framework for classifying processes and includes higher-level semantics in their representation. We demonstrate that this ontology supports a situated view of processes based on a model of three interacting worlds.
