Abstract

An essential part of a maintenance technician’s safe work practices is following procedures. In this thesis, we first conduct two industry studies to assess the perceived impacts of emerging digital interfaces for maintenance procedures on the work of technicians. Next, we develop an Ontology for Maintenance Procedure Documentation (OMPD) to support the development of these digital interfaces. We consider the end users of the data to be central to OMPD's design and consider the broader implications of OMPD on their work. We demonstrate that existing maintenance procedures can be made machine-readable using OMPD and semantically validated for consistency and correctness.
