Engineering information modeling in databases: needs and constructions
Abstract
Purpose
To provide a selective bibliography for researchers and practitioners interested in database modeling of engineering information with sources which can help them develop engineering information systems.
Design/methodology/approach
Identifies the requirements for engineering information modeling and then investigates how current database models satisfy these requirements at two levels: conceptual data models and logical database models.
Findings
Presents the relationships among the conceptual data models and the logical database models for engineering information modeling viewed from database conceptual design.
Originality/value
Currently few papers provide comprehensive discussions about how current engineering information modeling can be supported by database technologies. This paper fills this gap. The contribution of the paper is to identify the direction of database study viewed from engineering applications and provide a guidance of information modeling for engineering design, manufacturing, and production management.
