DRAGON:
Development of an
InteRActive EnGineering
Portal for Open Networks
Background and Objectives of DRAGON


The way of co-operation between companies is of strategic
significance, especially with regard to enable the co-operation of
enterprises situated in different locations and having a different
cultural background.
 The main problem is to provide information that is necessary for
the common product development process without disclosing
internal know-how.
The goal of the DRAGON project is to provide an overall
framework to support common virtual product development
processes between European and Chinese companies.
 The aim is to share only a necessary and sufficient subset of
information.
Central Question
What is the necessary and sufficient subset of information
that has to be shared during a common product development process
without disclosing internal know-how?
Request, Product Information ...
Partner
A
(Manufacturer)
Necessary and sufficient subset
of information for the common
