Process specification language

A process specification language is a standardized language used to describe and define processes, often used in the context of industrial automation and manufacturing. ISO 18629 is an example of a process specification language standard, and other standard languages such as The PSL ontology are based on it. These languages provide a structured and formalized way to represent and communicate information about processes.From: Enterprise Architecture A to Z [2019], A generic knowledge management approach towards the development of a decision support system [2021]

To cope with the complex process of VLSI system design, we need a higher level of viewing of a complete process, i.e., the abstraction of process by hiding all details that need not to be considered for the purpose at hand. As pointed out in National Institute of Standards and Technology reports (Schlenoff et al., 1996; Knutilla et al., 1998), a “unified process specification language” should have the following major requirements: abstraction, alternative task, complex groups of tasks, and complex sequences.

Others have used standards for the development of ontologies, for example: OntoSTEP (Krima et al. 2009) based on the Standard for the Exchange of Product model data (STEP). Also, standard languages such as The PSL ontology based on The Process Specification Language (Schlenoff et al. 2000; Gruninger and Kopena 2005). There is also the Standard MTConnect that, according to their website, ‘offers a semantic vocabulary for manufacturing equipment to provide structured, contextualized data with no proprietary format’.
