#4395 Systems Engineering Knowledge Graph Applications #4395  Think innovatively. Given a knowledge graph of system domains, systems, subsystems, components, parts and defined function of each, describe 15 research paths looking for opportunities to improve existing systems To innovate within a complex system hierarchy—from the broad domain down to the individual part—we need to look at the "connective tissue" and the functional gaps. Researching these systems requires a mix of top-down systemic analysis and bottom-up material science. Here are 15 research paths designed to uncover hidden optimizations within a multi-tiered knowledge graph: 1. Functional Redundancy Elimination Scan the graph for identical functions performed by different subsystems. Research whether a single, high-performance component can fulfill both roles, reducing mass and complexity. Target: Cross-subsystem integration. 2. Cross-Domain Biomimicry Map the "Defined Function" of a failing or ine...

#4394 Systems Engineering Knowledge Graph Taxonomy; +ICE, Bicycle, EV Examples #4394  Describe the ontology for a knowledge graph modeling system domains, systems, subsystems, components, parts and element function (e.g. Prime Movers, Motion/Transmission, Control Systems, Structure/Framework, etc.) Designing an ontology for a technical knowledge graph requires a hierarchical structure that balances physical decomposition with functional logic. This allows you to trace a high-level system goal all the way down to a specific mechanical part. 1. The Physical Hierarchy (Structural Decomposition) This represents the "What is it?" aspect of the system. It follows a classic parent-child relationship where complexity decreases as you move down the tree. System Domain: The highest abstraction level (e.g., Aerospace, Automotive, Energy Grid). System: A set of interrelated entities that work together toward a common objective (e.g., An Electric Vehicle). Subsystem: A functional group...
