Collaborative data management system for engineering design and construction projects

摘要

A collaborative data management system for engineering, design, and construction (EDC) projects is presented. The system includes a storage medium, a processor, executable code, a display, and an input device. The storage medium stores a plurality of EDC data objects and a plurality of relationship objects. The EDC data objects represent parameters relevant to EDC projects. The relationship objects represent relationships between EDC data objects. The processor and executable code are communicatively coupled with the storage medium and are configured to (i) display the relationship objects on the display and (ii) allow a user to manage synchronization of the EDC objects with the input device.

1. A collaborative data management system for engineering, design, and construction (EDC) projects, comprising:
a storage medium storing a plurality of EDC data objects and a plurality of relationship objects; wherein each of the relationship objects represents a relationship between ones of the plurality of EDC data objects; wherein the plurality of EDC data objects includes:
(i) a first EDC data object that represents a first value for a first parameter, the first value defined by a first user; and(ii) a second EDC data object that represents a second value for the first parameter, the second value defined by a second user; wherein the plurality of relationship objects includes a first relationship object that represents a priority relationship between the first EDC data object and the second EDC data object, wherein the priority relationship is defined as a function of a life-cycle phase of an EDC project; a processor communicatively coupled with the storage medium; a display and input device communicatively coupled with the processor; and executable code communicatively coupled with the processor and configured to: (i) display the plurality of relationship objects on the display; (ii) allow a user to manage synchronization of the EDC objects with the input device; and (iii) redefine the first relationship object during the life-cycle of the EDC project.
