modeling of the fluid and solid continuum, respectively CFD (Fig.

) and FEM
(Fig.

) simulation results are shown. In order to enable integration and
interoperability of such software tools, we have to define ontologies (metadata
descriptors),
which
explicitly
define
numerical
models,
concepts,
and
their
definitions.
As our ontology-based approach is evolving from the object-oriented modeling
[
32
], we understand ontologies as an explicit knowledge about the domain con-
cepts, in our case multidimensional numerical models, designed and implemented
as a set of classes (objects) used in software development. An example of detailed
object-oriented approach for developing SV system is given in [
33
].
The FSI problem is complex, and thus the use of ontologies is expected to
formally reveal the applied engineering models in order to that the interfacing
process between FEM and CFD software can be automatically achieved through
software-to-software communication. We expect that the suggested ontology
approach will improve interoperability and integration of such tools by requiring
