Semantic data management for the development and continuous reconfiguration of smart products and systems

The paper describes an approach to a new generation of data management for an interdisciplinary, globally distributed development and continuous reconfiguration of smart products. The proposed solution is flexible, dynamic, has a high semantic content and considers both virtual product models as well as feedback data from the physical product along its whole lifecycle (digital product twin). The implementation of the proposed approach has furthermore been introduced by means of prototyping a SDM integration platform. (C) 2016
