TL;DR: We investigate ontology alignment for manufacturing by providing an overview of them and an openly available alignment between IMAMO and CDM-Core.

Abstract: With advancements in technology and big data availability, industries are struggling with data interoperability and knowledge representation. Ontologies have a great potential to solve such problems. However, lack of standardisation prevents the widespread adoption of ontologies in different manufacturing domains. Therefore, we investigate the possibility of preparing ontology alignment for manufacturing. This paper provides an overview of the available ontologies in this domain. We also provide an openly available alignment between two popular ontologies: IMAMO (maintenance ontology) and CDM-Core (process ontology).
