Abstract
In recent years, the innovation strategy and development process
entitled Product/Service-Systems (PSS), has attracted considerable attention
from the research and industrial communities. The many contributions have
come from various academic and professional viewpoints, which despite
providing a rich view of PSS as a strategy, also leaves some confusion as to
what actually constitutes a PSS. The definition of a PSS ontology could provide
the basis for a more systematic knowledge gathering within the field and
facilitate the application of integrated solutions within the industry. Ontologies
provide an effective tool for a knowledge management process, due to their
semantic capabilities, interoperability and extendibility. A PSS ontology for
domain conceptualisation is proposed that captures the underlying end-user
value and relates to existing PSS offerings. The PSS ontology is subsequently
integrated into an ontology for the maritime sector, in order to allow for the
identification of the PSS implementation opportunities within the industry. A
maritime ontology can help the industry to document and reuse tacit knowledge
while facilitating the implementation and value assessment of PSS solutions.
