Abstract: In view of the problem that the existing parts resource classification methods are short of generality and extensibility, a parts resource general classification model (PRGCM) based on ontology and article characteristics is presented. This modeling method include the conceptual analysis and the logical hierarchy model specification. Moreover, the implementing process of the PRGCM is put forward to acquire parts resource classification pattern finally for parts library. At last, in order to promote product standardization and implement mass customization, a parts library resource classification data dictionary for automobile parts enterprise is developed.

Key words: Characteristic property, Mass customization, Ontology, Parts library, Parts resource classification
