Abstract
Several designers should have to work together on the design of the same part of the real world. Maybe because of the extent of the work to be done, maybe to take into account knowledge from several designers, from several application domains: all these people do not perceive the real world in the same way. The integration goal is to obtain the richest view of the part of the real world under study.
