Knowledge management and model reuse in model-based systems engineering using knowledge graphs

In the project KG4MBSE, knowledge graphs (KGs) are used to work on central problems in model-based systems engineering (MBSE). MBSE is being used more and more frequently to counter the increasing complexity and interdisciplinarity in development projects. In early development phases, extensive system models with a comparatively high degree of formalisation are created to integrate different views of the system to be developed as well as the networking of individual model elements such as requirements, system elements or stakeholders.

This transfer project KG4MBSE focuses on two central problems in MBSE: (i) the limited reuse of system models and insufficient knowledge management in the development process and (ii) the integration of submodels and the analysis of the effects of a change in model content for subsequent tests and the efficiency of the development activity.

The aim of KG4MBSE is to reduce modelling effort and increase model quality through the targeted reuse and integration of model fragments using knowledge graphs.
