Knowledge-Based Engineering Data Management

Abstract

The chapter "Knowledge-Based Engineering Data Management", describes an approach for using process-oriented knowledge management to identify and organize knowledge-intensive activities in relation to data management activities. Modern design processes involve a variety of tasks (e.g. geometry creation, simulation) and product-specific characteristics (e.g. functional layout, materials, processrelevant data (e.g. for production), product structure, configuration), all of which can be managed with knowledge-based methods. Comprehensive knowledge exchange in product development requires effective data management strategies, which can be applied within knowledge-based engineering data management.
