Abstract
This paper presents ISO/STEP compatible data models for digitally archiving the history of design projects. The two main components are a product core model and a process core model. The former relates product data to design process rationale and the latter encapsulates the design process itself. The process core model can represent process hierarchy, structure, logical and temporal relationships between processes and design steps. The core models are domain independent; specific schemas can be derived from the core models. A prototype Design History System has been implemented which can be accessed over the Internet with a web based user-interface. A relational-object database is used for design history archival. The system supports browsing, various types of queries, and dynamic schema evolution.
