IMPROVE stands for "e;Information Technology Support for Collaborative and Distributed Design Processes in Chemical Engineering"e; and is a large joint project of research institutions at RWTH Aachen University. This volume summarizes the results after 9 years of cooperative research work. The focus of IMRPOVE is on understanding, formalizing, evaluating, and, consequently, improving design processes in chemical engineering. In particular, IMPROVE focuses on conceptual design and basic engineering, where the fundamental decisions concerning the design or redesign of a chemical plant are undertaken. Design processes are analyzed and evaluated in collaboration with industrial partners.

This book presents OntoCAPE, a formal domain ontology for chemical process engineering based on a general upper ontology for engineering. It depicts the organization and structure of the ontology, and describes the conceptualizations of various topic areas.
