Abstract:

The amount of data within the product development process requires a structured approach to coordinate them. Knowledge management solutions, such as ontologies, are a suitable way of linking data and representing semantic relationships. However, making all relevant data usable to ensure their target-oriented application is still a challenge. Thus, this contribution presents an approach to identify and classify heterogeneous data in product development. Besides this single ontology approach, interface solutions for data integration into an ontology are proposed.
