With widespread use of digital tools in industry, an increasing amount of data and knowledge can be edited, shared and made accessible throughout the product lifecycle. As such, new technologies, that provide a formal framework for managing and organizing the intellectual assets of a business, can significantly influence the application of knowledge and the extent to which this knowledge will serve as a source of sustainable differentiation. Similarly, much suggests that the management of knowledge can positively influence and support the links between individual activities in the value stream, hence enabling the product-centered approach, which is fundamental to product lifecycle management (PLM). This paper draws on our experiences as a PLM and Knowledge Management (KM) supplier and highlights industry examples in aeronautics. It explores the potential application of a combined approach that utilizes digital support to encourage the effective use of KM throughout the product lifecycle.

La documentation technique de systèmes complexes est aujourd'hui issue d'un ensemble de bases de données et de documents édités numériquement et cet ensemble est mis à jour et enrichi pendant le cycle de vie du produit. Après une description du contexte de la documentation technique et un rappel des résultats d'enquêtes sur l'utilisation de la documentation numérique, nous présentons un cadre théorique pour mieux appréhender le système documentaire en relation avec ses utilisateurs et avec le système technique. Nous proposons un modèle UML de référentiel numérique pour satisfaire les exigences de préservation à long terme et mieux supporter les besoins d'utilisation de ce référentiel. ABSTRACT. Technical documentation of complex systems is today extracted from a set of data and documents bases, digitally edited and this set is updated and extended all along the product life cycle. After a description of the context of technical documentation, we give a theoretical framework for an improved understanding of the document system related to its users and to the technical system. We propose an UML model of a digital repository aiming at the satisfaction of long term preservation requirements and at an improved support of the use needs of this repository.

Model‐based Systems Engineering is proposed as a graphical approach to support for‐malization of system artifacts across system lifecycle based on models since 1993. The previous motivation of graphical specification is to provide a unified graphical description on the perspective of systems engineering in order to formalize system architectural views, to promote communications among stakeholders and to support system analysis and verification. However, when different modeling tools are developed based on such graphical specifications, model and data interoperability across modeling tools is the biggest challenge faced by the tool venders and MBSE practitioners. Thus, semantic specification is proposed again to enhance data interoperability, such as SysML 2.0 as a possible solution. In this paper, we propose a new semantic MBSE language and framework aiming to support complex system development using a semantic two‐core mechanism: 1) KARMA language and 2) Industrial Ontologies Foundry (IOF) SE and MBSE ontology. Then, we introduce the KARMA Roadmap 2025 including technical vision, organizational views and standardization. A new KARMA open‐source modeling environment is planned to being created in order to provide MBSE application for more industrial practitioners.
