A challenge in effective sharing of product information in collaborative design is the lack of explicit and compatible semantics in the product digital content. Substantial difficulties arise in understanding and interpreting the intended meaning of product data across collaborating design teams and applications. This paper presents a method to capture design semantics with product models for more consistent representation, understanding and interpretation of data semantics to support heterogeneous information sharing. The method incorporates the STEP based interoperability standard, ontology engineering, and object-oriented product modeling to capture and share the semantically interoperable product information. It focuses on: modeling of product data with additional semantics in object-based representations; extension of STEP with supplementary design information; domain ontology development; and semantics-driven schema mapping. A software prototype has been implemented to validate the method and tested with case studies.

Based on the analysis of product model characteristics of multidisciplinary collaborative design (MCD), multiple views model expressed by an extended object-oriented method is introduced to satisfy the requirements of different discipline designers for product information interaction and share. A product modeling system for multidisciplinary collaborative design is proposed, and the modeling method of discipline view model under the network environment is given, which can effectively support the evolution of product model and improve the flexibility of product modeling. The clutch is illustrated to validate the proposed methods.

Abstract This paper describes the roles of features and abstraction mechanisms in the mechanical design process, mechanical designs, and product models of mechanical designs. It also describes the relationship between functions and features in mechanical design. It is our experience that many research efforts exist in the areas of design and product modeling and, further, that these efforts must be cataloged and compared. To this end, this paper culminates with the presentation of a multi-dimensional abstraction space which provides a unique framework for (a) comparing mechanical engineering design research efforts, (b) relating conceptual objects used in the life cycle of mechanical products, and (c) defining a product modeling space.

Abstract Network and Internet technology open up another domain for building future CAD/CAM environments. The environment will be global, network-centric, and spatially distributed. In this paper, we present Web-enabled feature-based modeling in a distributed design environment. The presented approach combines the current feature-based modeling technique with distributed computing and communication technology for supporting product modeling and collaborative design activities over the network. The approach is implemented in a client/server architecture, in which Web-enabled feature modeling clients, neutral feature model server, and other applications communicate with one another via a standard communication protocol. The paper discusses how the neutral feature model supports multiple views and maintains naming consistency between geometric entities of the server and clients as the user edits the part in a client. Moreover, it explains how to minimize the network delay between the server and client according to dynamic feature modeling operations.

The flexible operating and changing of the complex one-of-a-kind shipbuilding environment has to be based on adequate concepts and instruments to handle the related controlling, planning and implementation tasks. Product modeling defines the physical and application driven product-related information. It is of basic importance to support this environment, especially the concurrent engineering functions, during the whole product life cycle. Process modeling supports the implementation and operation of complex CIM (Computer Integrated Manufacturing) oriented processes. In this paper some modeling applications within European shipbuilding research and development projects will be highlighted from the viewpoint of an integrated product and process modeling approach. The following projects referenced: NEUTRABAS (Neutral Database for Complex Multifunctional Systems) explores a broad application field of product information for ship steel structure and outfitting systems; ROCOCO (Real Time Monitoring and Control of Construction Site Manufacturing) develops a CIM application and demonstrates this application within the pipe outfitting environment of a ship berth construction site; and MARIN-ABC (Marine Industry Applications of Broadband Communication) demonstrates new applications and services in the maritime transportation business based on future mobile satellite networks.

Abstract Capturing design process is becoming an important topic of feature-based modeling, as well as in product data exchange, concurrent design, and cooperative design. Three critical issues on the modeling of design process are considered in this paper, namely, feature concepts, feature evolution, and the semantic consistencies of the states of product models. A semantics-based product model is introduced to facilitate the description of both conceptual and detailed models, and to maintain the semantic consistencies of product states. The process is represented by feature states and their evolution records. Feature type variation and prototype-based design are proposed to support feature evolution. A conceptual description of the design process and an example are given.

Virtual Business

Electronic marketplaces are inter-organizational information sharing systems that enable virtual business transactions and allow the exchange of price and product information between buyers and sellers (Kollmann, 2000). For many decades, such information systems were solely utilized for buying and selling of goods under “market conditions.” With the emergence of advanced IT, academia, and also businesses have begun to use electronic marketplaces for information sharing system and it is no longer only a medium for electronic buying and selling processes. In addition, electronic marketplaces are predicted to be a key-stone for integrating the information flows within inter-organizational systems such as supply chains (Grieger, 2004) where borderless organizational structures occur (see Picot, Reichwald, R., Wigand, 2001).

Data Provision

The timely availability and quality of building product information is critical prerequisite for a successful building delivery process. However, little is known about the processes by which stakeholders acquire and use such data. This contribution documents the results of recent relevant surveys, addressing the building product data processing by planers, clients, and the industry. Web questionnaires and interviews with opinion leaders were conducted. Altogether, over 100 participants provided pertinent insights regarding strengths and weaknesses of the current data representation practices. A comparison of the obtained data with that of an earlier study allows for the documentation of the evolutionary trends in web-based data provision. Most importantly, the results facilitate the formulation of strategies for a more effective presentation and distribution of building product data.
