Formalisation des structures organisationnelles pour le partage des informations techniques

For some years the development of industrial products has been facing the context of Distributed Enterprises. Product related information can be managed by PDM (Product Data Management) tools. However, these tools are not well suited to this distributed context where independent companies have to cooperate. Our goal is to propose a modelling framework that structures the flows of information and their life cycle in a product development process where several industrial entities are involved. This model is based on XML language.
