Support platform and software modules

An open software platform and functional modules to support engineers and others who are involved along the process of an idea for a product, over its development, manufacturing, service and usage - so supporting basically the PLM. Current modules adress discrete products, especially but not only made by SME. The platform and modules form a distributed software system "glued together" by dOSGI as a standard and a common data interface by means of a modular, extensible ontology in OWL.
