Context-driven product knowledge modeling, description and sharing

Modern product development needs a large number of knowledge contained at all stages of product life cycle. In order to deal with the discrete, heterogeneous expression, scenario dependence of various types of product knowledge, a context-driven knowledge-sharing approach is presented, covering product knowledge modeling, describing and organizing. Through building product knowledge context model, product knowledge is linked with the relevant generation and application scenarios. Based on the model, a template-based product knowledge description method is proposed. With analyzing the description results, a self-organization method is proposed for product knowledge organization. The context-driven knowledge-sharing approach which aims at discrete distributed environment, contains a wealth of context-sensitive scenario semantics, has self-organizing capacity, can effectively solving product knowledge sharing problems.
