Linked Design STANDARDS

OPPORTUNITY

IMS ACTIVITY PARTICIPANTS

Relevant product information is too often scattered in different (often unstructured) formats and locations making data retrieval tedious and error-prone.

A single point of entry for all relevant product information -independent of its format, location or originator and the phase of the product lifecycle in which the information is created- is clearly missing in current IT landscapes.

Moreover, implicit (new) information which could be derived from existing information by embracing its mutual relationships and interdependencies remains invisible

To create an international IMS community to develop, test, deploy, promulgate, adopt and maintain semantic standards to link engineering knowledge for product design to manufacturing

Within LinkedDesign, the information presented to the user is more than the sum of the aggregated source information.

For this reason, LinkedDesign must not be a platform which only pulls information from various sources, but it will integrate push mechanisms and other bidirectional integration approaches to the source system as well.

LinkedDesign IMS Project WP1

• Project Definition Phase• During this activity the core

consortium will be built• The main already existing standards

that will be targeted during the works will be checked and defined.

• Contacts with the different STEP working groups will be established.

Beyond Product Lifecycle Management

Historically, the PLM acronym is usually associated with the Beginning-of-Life (design & manufacturing) phase and is mainly focused on information about each series of products rather than every individual product instance

QLM is the next major leap beyond PLM, addressing instance-level, closed-loop lifecycle information management from Beginning, through Middle to End-of-Life

QLM standards and infrastructure will be applicable to other kinds of lifecycles such as supply chain, food and beverage, human, services etc.

QLM will increase competitiveness and enable new business opportunities
