Abstract
This PhD thesis aims to study ontology-based AR content-related methods and their impact in knowledge transfer, capture and re-use for cost-effective human knowledge integration in digital diagnostic systems. Industry 4.0 has revealed the importance of maintainers’ knowledge capture and re-use in diagnostics systems for providing satisfactory solutions in cases where those systems cannot (e.g. nofault-found). Augmented Reality (AR) utilises content-related techniques to transfer knowledge to maintainers for improving efficiency and effectiveness of diagnosis tasks. Academic literature has shown that AR can also be utilised for knowledge capture and re-use, but this has only been demonstrated in simple, step-by-step repair operations. In diagnosis research, ontology-based methods are applied to capture and re-use knowledge from unstructured and heterogenous sources like humans. Nevertheless, these methods have not made use of AR potential to contextualise knowledge and so, improve efficiency and effectiveness of knowledge capture and re-use diagnosis operations...[cont.]
