Linked Design
STANDARDS
OPPORTUNITY
Relevant product information is too often scattered in different
(often unstructured) formats and locations making data retrieval
tedious and error-prone.
A single point of entry for all relevant product information independent of its format, location or originator and the phase
of the product lifecycle in which the information is created- is
clearly missing in current IT landscapes.
Moreover, implicit (new) information which could be derived
from existing information by embracing its mutual relationships
and interdependencies remains invisible
IMS ACTIVITY
To create an international IMS community to develop, test,
deploy, promulgate, adopt and maintain semantic standards to
link engineering knowledge for product design to manufacturing
Within LinkedDesign, the information presented to the user is
more than the sum of the aggregated source information.
For this reason, LinkedDesign must not be a platform which only
pulls information from various sources, but it will integrate push
mechanisms and other bidirectional integration approaches to
the source system as well.

Target
Standards
• Project Definition Phase
• During this activity the core
consortium will be built
• The main already existing
standards that will be targeted
during the works will be checked
and defined.
• Contacts with the different STEP
working groups will be established.

Standards
• Quantum Lifecycle Management (QLM) standards:
 Following-up FP6-IMS PROMISE
 QLM Product Data Model
 QLM Messaging Interface
 Integral part of The Open Group’s new Platform
3.0 forum
 Direction cited by Gartner and IDC
 Embracing Cloud, Big Data, Internet of Things
et al.
• Semantics
 FP7 LinkedDesign: the LinkedDesign Ontology
 Also applying The Open Group’s Universal Data
Element Framework (UDEF) which yields:
 Unambiguous identification of information
items
 Semantic Interoperability
The CL2M model of FP6-IMS PROMISE

Why Quantum Lifecycle Management?
Beyond Product Lifecycle Management

Historically, the PLM acronym is usually associated with the Beginningof-Life (design & manufacturing) phase and is mainly focused on
information about each series of products rather than every
individual product instance

QLM is the next major leap beyond PLM, addressing instance-level,
closed-loop lifecycle information management from Beginning,
through Middle to End-of-Life

QLM standards and infrastructure will be applicable to other kinds of
lifecycles such as supply chain, food and beverage, human, services
etc.

QLM will increase competitiveness and enable new business
opportunities
