Ontology of Engineering and Computational Architecture of Multimodal Transport and Logistics Center

The conceptual framework and building of the ontology of a selected subject area is considered. The subject area is the development of engineering and computational architectures for the specific object of warehousing logistics. The research methodology is presented iteratively and includes a definition of the ontology structure and its requirements, a specification of terms, and a class hierarchy. The conceptual representation framework takes into account the distinction among objects of links identified from the data concerning the generative operation of a multimodal transport and logistics center. The chosen approach to ontology development allows the formulation of rules and operations for transforming the class hierarchy. This approach involves creating a hierarchy, where each concept can inherit attributes and relationships from a parent class, which simplifies data management within the subject area. The ontology is developed in the Protégé editor, the links expressing object relationships are defined, and a basis is created for searching axioms of dependencies among component objects of the IT architecture of the multimodal transport and logistics center. The ontology is intended to provide methodological support for decisions concerning configuring and parameterizing software and network components of the engineering and computing architectures of the multimodal transport and logistics center.
