Design Ontology
摘要
Ontologies make design reasoning explicit and computable. We survey four pillars—Function-Behavior-Structure (FBS), Axiomatic Design, Concept-Knowledge (C-K) Theory, and Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ)—plus complementary formalisms. The chapter shows how functions, behaviors, structures, concepts, contradictions, and mappings encode design moves, support simulation and automation, and scaffold human–AI collaboration. Readers learn when and how to apply each ontology, and how ontological clarity improves traceability, creativity, and cross-team interoperability.
