Rural development has become more and more important issue in Hungary since rural areas also contribute to the efficiency of the national economy. Development of rural areas also very important issue in the European Union, which could contribute to the improvement of profitability of small family businesses, higher employment rate in rural areas as well as slow down the migration of people from rural into urban areas. Nowadays the bee-keeping– as one of the activities can provide alternative income for small businesses in rural areas– has become more and more important topic in Hungary. Bee-keeping sector provides income roughly 15 thousands families in Hungary. At the same time it takes important role in the preservation of rural landscape, traditions and their regional values. However, the sector has serious problems, as well (for instance quality issues, competitors on the market, etc.). It can be stated that the market position of Hungarian honey can be preserved through the improvement of quality assurance and product development. These developments can be carried out by the utilization of national and European Union funds.

Abstract For the integration of the tasks to be mastered within the development process it is necessary to take account of non-geometrical information, from product design to manufacturing process, alongside geometrical design shape. The introduction of objects as carriers of semantic information leads to the use of features. In the present contribution, a concept and its realization are described that facilitate a flexible definition and computer-internal representation as well as the interpretation of features as semantically endowed objects. Based on the feature model, approaches are introduced for the support of product development with the partial tasks conception, design, integrated planning of manufacture and quality assurance.
