A customizable view for Web-based STEP data
A key to successful deployment of concurrent engineering is sharing of product data. We propose a new approach to sharing the product data on the Web. In a concurrent engineering environment, each participant who is as disparate as design, production, and purchase requires a different view depending on their roles and interests. Therefore, it is very important to support the individuals' data requirements. Our system supports views for custom-defined functionalities as well as predefined standardized views. The system allows individual users to design their own views. An important consideration is given to improve the system performance by maintaining indexes.
