Ambiguity Tolerant Commissioning Ontology: From an upper ontology to a domain specific implementation

There are no standardized interfaces or descriptions for the outsourcing of production orders, e.g. through cloud manufacturing. For this reason, an upper ontology was developed in a preliminary work; associated models describe the entire process and parameters from the request for quotation over its return to the conclusion of the contract. Products can either be described by their final state or by the initial product in conjunction with the applied processes.
