InDeaTe web-tool addresses the issues of poor incorporation of design methods and tools in design. Initially conceived with a focus on sustainability, it is supported by a comprehensive database of design methods and tools, that are mapped using an ontology developed with ACLODS framework as the basis. This paper discusses the expansion of the ontology and inclusion of multiple design methodologies within the InDeaTe 3.0 web-tool, highlights the salient features of the tool and further discusses its relevance also as a research support, to widen its applicability across domains and criteria.
