A method of maintaining data described in a plurality of data models. An ontology is used to describe the data models. The data models are managed using the ontology and using a validation schema to validate object(s) governed by the ontology and derived from data-centric component(s) of content that has a semantically independent structure. Management of the data models is neutral relative to implementation of the content.

Managing data systems to support semantic-independent schemas

A method and apparatus are present for managing information for parts. Information for a part is identified. The information comprises a plurality of features for the part, a number of levels of details for each of the plurality of features, and a history associated with the plurality of features. The plurality of features for the part, the number of levels of detail for each of the plurality of features, and the history associated with the plurality of features are associated with each other to form a plurality of associations. The information and the plurality of associations are stored in a repository.
