    Abstract
    One of the principal problems faced by engineering design today is the exchange of product information across different applications and environments. Ontological engineering systems, an evolution of KBE (Knowledge-Based Engineering) systems, seek to facilitate this integration while incorporating additional design information. An ontology, in the engineering domain, can be defined as an explicit specification of a shared conceptualization. This paper proposes the integration of an ontology with a Computer Aided Design (CAD) program, while also accessing a database of information on environmental impact. The proposed ontology is based on the AsD (Assembly Design) formalism, which describes spatial relationships and features of CAD models. The use of OWL (Web Ontology Language) and SWRL (Semantic Web Rule Language) ensures machine interpretability and exchange across different environments. Ultimately, the ontology will be used to represent a CAD model and related information (such as joining methods, materials, tolerances) in formal terms. Concurrently, a database of information on environmental impact of the materials, processes and transport involved will be accessed to evaluate the model on an environmental level. As a practical illustration, the evaluation of an underwater camera is used as an example. Keywords: ontology, Knowledge Based Engineering, environmental, Computer Aided Design
