We know what it should be in the case of product service system(s) but on a Business Model level it should be generic for many type of business model commercial service realizable entity https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/productservicesystem/ProductServiceSystem/ realizable entity that concretizes a commercial service specification which is about a product and that is realized in a commercial service consumable resource role https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/productservicesystem/ProductServiceSystem/ needs to be harmonized with consumable resource role in BMIC ontology true role that is borne by a material entity, when that entity is intended to be consumed/transformed in a planned process and the quantity of the resource is reduced after use The required constructs for providing necessary and sufficient conditions are not available in this release. manufacturing resource role https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/productservicesystem/ProductServiceSystem/ role that inheres in an independent continuant where that continuant bears a disposition that, if realized, is realized in a manufacturing process non-consumable resource role https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/productservicesystem/ProductServiceSystem/ needs to be harmonized with non-consumable resource role in BMIC ontology infrastructure, machines true role that is borne by a material entity, when that entity is intended to be used but quantity is not reduced in a planned process The required constructs for providing necessary and sufficient conditions are not available in this release. product design specification This class will be harmonized with MaterialProductSpecification in ProductionPlanning ontology https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/productservicesystem/ProductServiceSystem/ In the industrial context they can be also understood as normative prescriptions, defined by a blueprint/recipe design specification that is a set of characteristics essential for a type of material products and that have to be jointly taken into account to prescribe the material product product family https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/productservicesystem/ProductServiceSystem/ group of related goods produced by the same company under the same business organization product family specification https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/productservicesystem/ProductServiceSystem/ specification that is a set of characteristics essential to group material products based on design and / or production processes and / or value proposition of the business organization product provider https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/productservicesystem/ProductServiceSystem/ person or organization which has a product provider role product quality https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/productservicesystem/ProductServiceSystem/ needs to be harmonized with ´quality attribute´ and ´quality attribute specification´ concepts in BMIC ontology true quality that describes an aspect, or attribute, related to the product The required constructs for providing necessary and sufficient conditions are not available in this release. product requirement specification https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/productservicesystem/ProductServiceSystem/ requirement specification that prescribes a material product product service system https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/productservicesystem/ProductServiceSystem/ PSS is a system which includes at least one material product and at least one commercial service, related to this product, and may include agents or groups of agents and infrastructure and which bears a PSS Role. For now, we are only considering material products, no software products (to be reviewed in the future) The class may also include infrastructure (facility or software infrastructure) The commercial service in the PSS is related to the material product, it's not "any" service PSS Mont, Oksana K.

The process will probably stay primitive, the sub-classes (when we define them in the next cycle) will be the ones with necessary and suficient conditions. true business process in which PSS is developed, implemented, distributed and used product service system consumer role https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/productservicesystem/ProductServiceSystem/ PSS consumer role customer role held by a person or business organization when it receives and consumes a product service system product service system indicator we might need a generic "indicator",needs to be further detailed https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/productservicesystem/ProductServiceSystem/ PSS indicator true measurement information content entity used to measure/evaluate any aspect within the scope of PSS, namely a process, a PSS, a product, a service, etc. product service system provider https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/productservicesystem/ProductServiceSystem/ PSS provider supplier that bears a product service system provider role product service system provider role https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/productservicesystem/ProductServiceSystem/ supplier role held by a person or business organization that offers product service system(s) and owns intellectual property rights (IPR) on the commercial service specification product service system quality https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/productservicesystem/ProductServiceSystem/ needs to be harmonized with ´quality attribute´ and ´quality attribute specification´ concepts in BMIC ontology PSS quality true quality that describes an aspect or attribute related to the PSS The required constructs for providing necessary and sufficient conditions are not available in this release. product service system requirement specification https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/productservicesystem/ProductServiceSystem/ PSS requirement specification requirement specification that depicts the aspects which are necessary for the design, development or offer of PSS and is defined by an agent or group of agents requirement specification that prescribes a product service system product service system resource role https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/productservicesystem/ProductServiceSystem/ PSS resource role role held by a material resource that is a mean (source) that can be used for the design, development, offer or delivery of a PSS product service system supplier organization https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/productservicesystem/ProductServiceSystem/ product service system provider organization product service system vendor organization PSS supplier organization PSS supplier organization true business organization that both produces and sells something (product, service, PSS), or only sells it The required constructs for providing necessary and sufficient conditions are not available in this release. product variant set https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/productservicesystem/ProductServiceSystem/ Product variants are versions of products with variations in attributes such as color, size, material, features, pricing, etc. a specific item that is bundled in with related variants to form one distinguishable product subset of goods that belongs to a product family, based on design and / or production processes and / or value proposition of the business organization product variant set specification https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/productservicesystem/ProductServiceSystem/ specification that is a set of characteristics essential to group a subset of material products that belongs to a Product Family, based on design and / or production processes and / or value proposition of the business organization service requirement specification https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/productservicesystem/ProductServiceSystem/ requirement specification that prescribes a commercial service service specification https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/productservicesystem/ProductServiceSystem/ we will need to address what the product may have to support the service design specification that is a set of characteristics essential for a commercial service and that have to be jointly taken into account to prescribe the commercial service PSSProvider owns a PSS (inverse to PSS belongsTo PSSProvider) is part of relates something to another thing that it is some component or portion of, regardless of how that whole-part relationship is manifested relates something to another thing that it is some component or portion of, regardless of how that whole-part relationship is manifested Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy at http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/mereology/ relates something to another thing that it is some component or portion of, regardless of how that whole-part relationship is manifested 1
