Management of User-Defined Meta Information for Virtual Product Development

Virtual product development puts high demands on data management solutions due to many dependent heterogeneous data sources, automatic data transformations, and fast changing requirements and meta information. In this work we will investigate how user-defined meta information, particularly annotations and folkosonomies, complement existing design management systems. At first, the work describes problems and information requirements caused by reusing automatically derived simulations. Subsequently, steps for introducing an annotation-based data management solution are presented.
