Abstract: In concurrent engineering, it is difficult to organize product information in an interconnected and consistent way due to complicated interrelations and proprietary data formats. This paper proposes an information representation scheme which accentuates feature association and feature unification. Feature association establishes persistent relations among different features constituents while feature unification provides a generic format for different application features. A unified feature defines common attributes and methods of all the supported application features. Feature relations are identified in application, feature and feature constituent levels for controlling the consistency among different application feature models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
