DESCRIPTION:In addition to information quality\, every step of the informa
 tion lifecycle need to be accounted for with reasons so that human can tra
 ce back the whole information lifecycle and review it if needed. Since the
  information generated and reused by knowledge management process will be 
 highly summarized\, credibility of information will not be established wit
 hout such tracing facility (IBM 1997)”. Related to this\, one of the cha
 llenges associate with the shift in contemporary product development parad
 igm is that the provision of effective through-life product support requir
 es that engineering design information (EDI) has to remain traceable (acce
 ssible\, understandable and reusable)\, throughout the decades that a prod
 uct remains in service. The biggest obstacle to traceability achievement i
 s current practice of insufficient EDI context capturing and documentation
 \, together with an inadequate support to the tracing of reasons behind th
 e EDI development. Therefore\, the research objective of this project is t
 o establish a framework for traceability of EDI development within the new
  and evolving paradigm of the long and total product-service life cycle. T
 he two aims has been set for the research: (1) to develop tools\, methods\
 , and associated theoretical foundations for understanding and supporting 
 the traceability of EDI development\; and (2) to investigate the dynamics 
 of the EDI development throughout the product life cycle in order to provi
 de environment in which the traceability tools and methods can be made ope
 rational and effective.
