From Lifecycle Modelling to Lifecycle Analysis - A Framework for Interactive Visualisation of Lifecycle Information

Abstract

In this paper the proposed framework for a holistic tool-chain from system modelling to interactive visualisations is presented. The novelty of the proposed framework is the first-time interactive visuali-sation of SysML models by transferring it into an ontology with the intermediate step of XMI transformation and queries via SPARQL for the identification, description and illustration of partici-pating disciplines and aspects in product development. Focusing on the appropriate representation of data and interaction with data, a visualisation should assist users to use different aspects of the data on demand as a basis for communication and collaboration.
