Hi Jelle, I'm sure there is some overlap. :) I am probably far behind you guys in the theory, since I did not study any of this in school. (My degree is physics ... in computer science, programming, logic, etc., I am completely self-taught, although initially I was a math major and interested in abstract algebra.)
My approach is somewhat "minimalist" -- I would like to be able to import engineering object instances from various sources, such as STEP files, PDM systems, etc., and apply rules to them and make inferences about them. The end applications could be almost anything -- e.g., some of the guys I have worked with in the STEP world have implemented rule-based systems for "manufacturability" analysis during design process and such. I am mainly interested in pulling various domain models (design, analysis, etc.) into a logical "systems" environment, "synchronizing" them (if possible, using managed mappings between them), and applying rules and reasoning on them from the "whole system" viewpoint -- basically creating a systems logical view for the domain of systems engineering.
