Project goals

The main goal of this cooperation project is to integrate and share the experiences, results and research effort that have been already done by the groups of the participating institutions into a join work to define methodological and software support (models, methods and tools) which allow incorporate semantic features in a computer-supported design activity.
Particularly, these project intents to demonstrate that semantic web technologies are a suitable option to improve computerassisted design process. In order to achieve this goal, we will identify semantic requirement for design situation and we develop methodological support and software solution for it management.

Abstract

This project is to apply Semantic Web technologies to better support computerbased collaborative design systems. It will deal with the problem of building software support for collaborative design activities guided by domain knowledge.
This infrastructure uses domain ontologies to help designers in assembling design components by helping them in searching adequate components, detecting conflicts, searching related documents, finding people with the adequate skills, etc. This design work can be done by several people distributed about time, space and organizations.
The main research lines are:

Knowledge representation for design activities and processes.
to support collaborative design activities, with a particular focus on coherence/divergence support, coordination and awareness
knowledge management for design processes

These lines will be addressed in order to integrate them into an advanced semantic portal for design. This portal will provide support and assistance to collaborative design processes by using domain knowledge.
