Abstract

We present a formalization of the notion of function of devices as set forward by Robert Stone and Kristin Wood in the Functional Model approach. This formalization is part of a larger project to analyse functional descriptions of technical artifacts within an ontology. The result is a formal system in which engineering notions of functions are expressed in terms of denitions grounded in the foundational ontology dolce.
