In spite of the commonality in production scheduling system requirements and design, different scheduling environments invariably present different challenges (e.g. different constraints, different objectives, different domain structure, etc.). The proposed methodology for building ontologies used for production scheduling systems represents a synthesis of extensive work in developing constraint-based scheduling models for a wide range of applications in manufacturing and production planning. Since the effective modeling is one of the most important and difficult steps in the development of reliable information systems, and taking into consideration the fact that the general problem of the production scheduling in the industries is very difficult and still unsolved, one can easily estimate the merit of this methodology.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1108\/09685220110366803","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,13]],"date-time":"2007-04-13T10:05:06Z","timestamp":1176458706000},"page":"44-51","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Building ontologies for production scheduling systems: towards a unified methodology"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Kostas S.","family":"Metaxiotis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Technical University of Athens, Institute of Communications and Computer Systems, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John E.","family":"Psarras","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Technical University of Athens, Institute of Communications and Computer Systems, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dimitris","family":"Askounis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Technical University of Athens, Institute of Communications and Computer Systems, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"2025072819515143300_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Artiba, A.\n           (1997), Planning and Scheduling of Production Systems \u2013 Methodologies and Applications, Chapman & Hall, London.","DOI":"10.1007\/978-1-4613-1195-9_1"},{"key":"2025072819515143300_B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bagchi, T.\n           (1999), Multiobjective Scheduling by Genetic Algorithms, Kluwer Academic Publishers, New York, NY.","DOI":"10.1007\/978-1-4615-5237-6"},{"key":"2025072819515143300_B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Brucker, P.\n           (1998), Scheduling Algorithms, Springer-Verlag,\u2008Berlin.","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-662-03612-9"},{"key":"2025072819515143300_B4","unstructured":"Gruber, T.\n           (1993), Towards Principles for the Design of Ontologies used for Knowledge Sharing, Technical Report, Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA."},{"key":"2025072819515143300_B5","unstructured":"Gruninger, M.\n           and Fox, M.
