TOWARD A DATA MATURITY EVALUATION IN COLLABORATIVE DESIGN PROCESSES

This paper concerns the engineering data exchange control. It proposes to define a data evaluation system based on the concept of "data maturity" in order to control the design collaboration. Data maturity helps to measure the data usability level for each designer view as the provider or the receiver of the information. The method decomposes maturity with parameters specific to each point of view. A correspondence matrix to translate evaluation of the provider into receiver language or receiver into provider, it supports dialog on common values.
