The complexity of design and designing is not something that we can influence on, but the way we model, classify, illustrate and structure our views upon design and designing, strongly influence our perceived complexity. Our research focus is on product development (PD) context as the entire body of data, information and engineering knowledge related to design itself, that evolves throughout the product development effort The nature of (PD) context complexity is explained by two dimensions: PD context elements description, and PD context evolution. Standardization of the PD ontology is proposed as a formal method for organizing the PD context, in order to improve the robustness and computability of PD context representation and decrease its complexity. |
