The Future of PLM Data Modeling – RDF/OWL vs SQL?

The Future of PLM Data Modeling – RDF/OWL vs SQL?

How do you envision the future of PLM data modeling? In my earlier posts, I was talking about some of the trends that are happening in PLM architecture and technologies these days. If you missed them, here are some of the links to them. A growing role of data in…

The Semantic Foundation Of Digital Enterprise

The Semantic Foundation Of Digital Enterprise

Earlier this week, I attended the panel discussion Creating a Digital Enterprise: What are the Challenges and Where to Start? The discussion run around a few interesting topics, one leading topic was data. The data (or how it was mentioned “information”) is clearly at the top of people’s minds when…

Open Semantic Data Modeling Layer For Connected PLM

Open Semantic Data Modeling Layer For Connected PLM

Connected PLM transformation is one of the strong trends I can see happening in the market of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). The main drivers of this process are going deep into manufacturing transformations – new connected products, global markets, competition, supply chain complexity, changes in business models, such as switching…

Will Google Set Future PLM Information Standards?

Will Google Set Future PLM Information Standards?

One of the core capabilities of Product Lifecycle Management is the ability to define and manage a variety of information about product – requirements, design, engineering, manufacturing, support, supply, etc. In order to do so, PLM vendors developed data management technologies and flexible frameworks that can handle product data. You…

Why PLM needs to learn Open World Assumption?

Why PLM needs to learn Open World Assumption?

Have you heard about OWA (Open World Assumption)? If you completed your Math 101 and Mathematical Logic time ago, refresh your memories by navigating to the following Wikipedia article. Here is the definition: In formal logic, the open world assumption is the assumption that the truth-value of a statement is…

What is the right data model for PLM?

What is the right data model for PLM?

I think the agreement about importance of the data model among all implementers of PDM / PLM is almost absolute. Data drives everything PDM / PLM system is doing. Therefore, to define the data model is the first step in many implementations. It sounds as something simple. However, there is…

Why PLM need to learn about Google Knowledge Graph?

Last week was clearly Facebook week. However, if you had a chance to take your head out of Facebook IPO and Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan wedding, you probably noticed an interesting news that came out of Google. It called Google Knowledge Graph. If you never heard about it, start with Google’s blog post –…

PLM, RDBMS and Future Data Management Challenges

PLM, RDBMS and Future Data Management Challenges

It is not unusual to hear about problems with PLM systems. It is costly, complicated, hard to implement and non-intuitive. However, I want to raise a voice and speak about data management (yes, data management). Most of PDM/PLM software is running on top of data-management technologies developed and invented 30-40…
