Abstract
Cloud manufacturing is an emerging manufacturing paradigm to enable rapid production for mass customization. Industrialized construction shares a similar production environment with manufacturing products, so it has a great potential to utilize the paradigm. Previous studies never examined cloud manufacturing in the construction context. This work takes the industrial difference into account and proposes a cloud manufacturing framework by ontology modeling. Three ontologies, including ifcOWL, OPW, and OWL-S, are linked to support the design to the manufacturing process of a building project. The framework benefits the design data and manufacturing data integration, and enhances the resource sharing by semantic web service.
