“…The goal is to develop a base information model that facilitates achieving integration of 774 design, analysis and other engineering activities at information level. In the past decade, product data management (PDM) systems are developed to cluster engineering files for different product development phases, projects, configurations, and relevant dependencies at meta-attributes level [11], but they do not solve data level integration issues. The researchers at national institute of standards and technology (NIST) [4] have developed a base-level product model, known as core product model (CPM), that is generic, simple, open, non-proprietary, extensible, and independent of any specific product development process.…”
