Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
The main factors that make traceability difficult in designing are: complexity of design objects representations; multirelations and dependencies between design objects; fuzziness of design and designing; lack of formal models of design objects; heterogeneity of design object sources. The meta model of product development context for achieving traceability is described. The implementation framework based on product development ontology is proposed, as solution for traceability difficulties: formal syntax and semantic; multilevel abstraction; semantically rules and deduction mechanisms for resolving complexity of traces among design routes; semantic interoperability as a communication medium between heterogeneous design object sources.
