Heterogeneous information network model for equipment-standard system
This work addresses standard revising, controlling, and production designing issues in equipment-standard systems, but it appears incremental as it applies existing network modeling techniques to a new domain.
The paper tackles the problem of modeling complex equipment-standard systems with multi-layer, multi-dimension, and multi-scale properties by proposing a heterogeneous information network model, which accurately reflects entity relationships and shows good performance in time consumption.
Entity information network is used to describe structural relationships between entities. Taking advantage of its extension and heterogeneity, entity information network is more and more widely applied to relationship modeling. Recent years, lots of researches about entity information network modeling have been proposed, while seldom of them concentrate on equipment-standard system with properties of multi-layer, multi-dimension and multi-scale. In order to efficiently deal with some complex issues in equipment-standard system such as standard revising, standard controlling, and production designing, a heterogeneous information network model for equipment-standard system is proposed in this paper. Three types of entities and six types of relationships are considered in the proposed model. Correspondingly, several different similarity-measuring methods are used in the modeling process. The experiments show that the heterogeneous information network model established in this paper can reflect relationships between entities accurately. Meanwhile, the modeling process has a good performance on time consumption.
