Abstract:
We propose a novel approach towards a generic engineering support environment that combines Semantic
Web technologies, Semantic Desktops, Group Memory Systems and Multi-Agent Systems to overcome the
problems of current systems for supporting individuals in collaborative engineering processes. In particular,
we aim at transferring the principles underlying the Semantic Web into an enterprise. This paper provides a
motivation for our research, identifies requirements and outlines the proposed solution.
