The Function-Behaviour-Structure ontology – or short, the FBS ontology – is an ontology of design objects, i.e. things that have been or can be designed. The Function-Behaviour-Structure ontology conceptualizes design objects in three ontological categories: function (F), behaviour (B), and structure (S). The FBS ontology has been used in design science as a basis for modelling the process of designing as a set of distinct activities. This article relates to the concepts and models proposed by John S. Gero and his collaborators. Similar ideas have been developed independently by other researchers.〔Umeda et al. (1990)〕〔Chandrasekaran and Josephson (2000)〕〔Bhatta and Goel (1994)〕 == Overview == The ontological categories composing the Function-Behaviour-Structure ontology are defined as follows:〔Gero and Kannengiesser (2004)〕 * ''Function'' (F): the teleology (purpose) of the design object. For example, the functions of a turbocharger include increasing the power output of an engine, providing reliability, and providing affordability. * ''Behaviour'' (B): the attributes that can be derived from the design object’s structure. For example, the behaviour of a turbocharger includes attributes such as air mass flow, efficiency ratio, thermal strength, and weight. * ''Structure'' (S): the components of the design object and their relationships. In the turbocharger example, structure includes the turbocharger components (compressor, turbine, shaft, etc.) and their spatial dimensions, interconnections and materials. The three ontological categories are interconnected: Function is connected with behaviour, and behaviour is connected with structure. There is no connection between function and structure. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Function-Behaviour-Structure ontology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
