Abstract
In many large engineering design organizations the information systems have developed over time into a set of heterogeneous resources. This makes it difficult for engineers to follow a trail through the resources. This situation becomes particular difficult when the Engineer is new to a company; unfamiliar with the systems and unaware of the history of the designs. This paper presents a demonstrator system developed with a major aerospace company to aid engineers, through the use of knowledge technologies, to locate the documentation they require. The paper presents the systems and lessons learnt to enable the organisation to move towards a more semantically enriched document repository.
