The objective of this research project is to create, develop, and disseminate a design-repository framework that advances industry's and the design research community's ability to model, exchange, and reuse product design information. In contrast to traditional design databases, design repositories serve not only as archives, but also serve as repositories of heterogeneous knowledge and data that support representation, capture, sharing, and reuse of corporate design knowledge. To create the repository framework, basic research will be performed in the representation and modeling of design function, product architectures, and form through a fundamental and systematic study of 100-200 current products. The National Institute of Standards and Technology will disseminate the research results within a computational, application-neutral format.If successful, the results of the research will contribute fundamental knowledge in the form of function and product-architecture representations to the design community. Most importantly, the results will improve product design in industry in two ways: (1) by developing a basic technological infrastructure to support the creation and use of design repositories in industry, and (2) by providing industry with access to design information in order to demonstrate the value of these repositories before they have to invest significant effort in their development. Thus, in addition to contributing basic research results in the area of design repositories, the research will produce sets of domain-specific prototype repositories that will be made available online via the world wide web. The results also open the doors to using design-by-analogy, product architecting, and design-for-assembly and manufacturing techniques early in the design and development process.

这个研究项目的目标是创建，开发和传播一个设计知识库框架，推进行业和设计研究社区的建模，交换和重用产品设计信息的能力。 与传统的设计数据库相比，设计知识库不仅作为档案，而且还作为异构知识和数据的存储库，支持企业设计知识的表示，捕获，共享和重用。 为了创建知识库框架，将通过对100-200个当前产品的基础和系统研究，在设计功能，产品架构和形式的表示和建模方面进行基础研究。 美国国家标准与技术研究所将以计算、应用中立的形式传播研究结果。如果成功，研究结果将以功能和产品架构表示的形式为设计界贡献基础知识。 最重要的是，研究结果将从两个方面改进工业产品设计：（1）通过开发基本的技术基础设施，支持工业设计知识库的创建和使用，以及（2）通过为工业提供设计信息的访问，以便在他们必须投入大量精力进行开发之前证明这些知识库的价值。 因此，除了在设计知识库领域贡献基本研究成果外，研究还将产生一套特定领域的原型知识库，这些知识库将通过万维网在线提供。 这些结果也为在设计和开发过程的早期使用类比设计、产品架构、装配设计和制造技术打开了大门。
