Increased product complexity, distributed authoring environments, and the need for tighter team integration with partners and suppliers have created challenges and new opportunities for information technology (IT) vendors to be able to integrate systems from multiple independent software vendors (ISVs) to form a coherent Enterprise PDM system. This paper will describe, in detail, a case study and solution of an IBM Research project called Hedwig. Hedwig investigates creating robust solutions for Product Life-Cycle Management (PLM). We focus on several research issues, including information federation, data mapping, synchronization, and web services connections. We describe a working system that allows access to several heterogeneous PDM systems that are used in the automotive and aerospace industries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1115\/1.1818684","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,1,4]],"date-time":"2005-01-04T18:00:41Z","timestamp":1104861641000},"page":"352-358","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1115\/crossmarkpolicy-asme","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Information Integration Framework For Product Life-Cycle Management of Diverse Data"],"prefix":"10.1115","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Huong","family":"Morris","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"IBM Research"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Simon","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IBM Data Management"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eric","family":"Shan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IBM Almaden Research Center, 650 Harry Rd, San Jose, CA 95120"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sai","family":"Zeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IBM Almaden Research Center, 650 Harry Rd, San Jose, CA 95120"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"33","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,1,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"2019100408523770300_r1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Arens, Y., Knoblock, C.
