Knowledge Exchange in VE

Summary

KCE as a concept for defining VE– advanced support for co-operation in VE

KCE for harmonising data exchange in VE– support for robust data exchange in

accordance with business and product descriptions

KCE for publishing information in VE– Structured explanative descriptions beside the

actual data
