Popis: Current processes for highly interdisciplinary and complex smart products rely on the support of a big variety of IT systems. At the lowest level, authoring systems are used to create digital models and engineering data objects. A multitude of data management systems which in turn have to be integrated into comprehensive Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions enable the management of this product information and engineering processes (e.g. for engineering change and release management) along the entire product lifecycle. Engineers use these information management approaches for their daily work processes like engineering change or release management. In industrial environments, several heterogeneous IT systems coexist but cannot easily be connected and thus provide critical barriers for engineering collaboration. Being able to flexible access required engineering information from these IT systems supported by a platform that provides integrated metadata repository engineering could improve engineering workflows like change management dramatically. The approach introduced in this paper describes a Metadata Repository for Semantic Product Lifecycle Management (SP2IDER) which provides an additional information management layer that uses an IT architecture based on a minimalistic core to view and access data from a multitude of IT source systems. Instead of storing data from these source systems in SP2IDER, open web technologies like Linked Data principles and JSON-LD allow providing real-time access to the source systems.
