In most cases, designers have to manually specify both assembly tolerance types and
values when they design a mechanical product. Different designers will possibly specify
different assembly tolerance types and values for the same nominal geometry. Furthermore,
assembly tolerance specification design of a complex product is a highly collaborative
process, in which semantic interoperability issues significantly arise. These situations will
cause the uncertainty in assembly tolerance specification design and finally affect the quality …
