    A multitude of information is required to address sustainability aspects in product design decisions. However, information required for applying methods in the field of sustainable product development often overlaps. Moreover, specific improvement measures can primarily be identified if method results can be traced back to data origin. This paper presents a concept and implementation of an information platform which is integrated into a PLM system and integrates an ontology based knowledge model and a semantic wiki. The information platform shall avoid double work, improve documentation of information and assist in understanding the data basis of method results. This paper discusses requirements and solution elements and presents findings from applying the methods Lifecycle Design Strategies (LiDS) Wheel and the Product Sustainability Index.

    A multitude of different perspectives and scientific disciplines have to be regarded considering research in sustainable development. Each discipline usually has its own understanding of sustainability and uses different vocabulary. Nonetheless, they have to work together to make a progress. To get a complete picture within the field of production, for example to evaluate the sustainability of a product or a process, different disciplines such as environmental engineering, mechanical engineering, mathematics or social sciences must be combined. In the Collaborative Research Center 1026 â Sustainable Manufacturing an ontology is developed in order to link the different disciplines considering sustainable value creation networks. The ontology assists in exchanging information and data and thus fosters collaboration. The paper presents and discusses an extract of identified requirements and the approach on developing the ontology for collaborative research.

    This research focuses on the conceptual design of a Knowledge-based Engineering (KBE) System. A concept for the KBE System and its requirements are described and an outlook of the KBE structure is provided. The KBE System supports design engineers to better understand the impacts of their design decisions on the entire product/system lifecycle. The following points are addressed: Clarification of the evaluation criteria for sustainability assessment, concept development for the KBE System and establishment of a comprehensive knowledge base.

    This paper describes the need of sustainable engineering derived from the principle of sustainable development. The main goal is to present a new approach where knowledge, especially sustainable product and process knowledge, can be organized and provided efficiently for the user. This is type of a straightforward approach. Earlier work results are directly included and experiences from basic and applied research are transferred. The knowledge is deposed in knowledge assets which are assigned to the product structure. The solution approach is implemented into a Product Data Management (PDM) system. Eventually, a case study provides an overview of the approach's benefits.
