Applications of Semantic Mining on Biological Process Engineering

Semantic.mining.is.an.essential.part.in.knowledgebase.and.decision.support.systems.where.it.enables.the. extraction.of.useful.knowledge.form.available.databases.with.the.ultimate.goal.of.supporting.the.decision. making.process..In.process.systems.engineering,.decisions.are.made.throughout.plant./.process./.product. life.cycles..The.provision.of.smart.semantic.mining.techniques.will.improve.the.decision.making.process. for.all.life.cycle.activities..In.particular,.safety.and.environmental.related.decisions.are.highly.dependent.on.process.internal.and.external.conditions.and.dynamics.with.respect.to.equipment.geometry.and. plant.layout..This.chapter.discusses.practical.methods.for.semantic.mining.using.systematic.knowledge. representation.as.integrated.with.process.modeling.and.domain.knowledge..POOM.or.plant/process. object.oriented.modeling.methodology.is.explained.and.used.as.a.basis.to.implement.semantic.mining.as. applied.on.process.systems.engineering..Case.studies.are.illustrated.for.biological.process.engineering,. in.particular.MoFlo.systems.focusing.on.process.safety.and.operation.design.support.
