In many agri-food chains, the food quality is often managed using the know-how based on the experience. The global quality enhancement may come from the sharing of the collective know-how. Capex ontology has been designed as a core ontology to represent potential causal relationships between situations of interest which permit to link a quality/default to an action to maintain/solve it. Current version is expressed using the Conceptual Graph ontological formalism. It will be expressed in OWL/RDF in the very next future. Current applications concern food processing but this core ontology may be used in any production sector.
