Abstract: For both student and professional design teams, the design and 
development process requires that collaborators build and retain knowledge 
through discussions, creating documents and sharing artifacts. Key to 
supporting these knowledge building activities is the development of an 
infrastructure that supports effective knowledge management. This paper 
presents the framework for an information management technology called 
DesignWebs, which assimilates the product structures from the evolving set of 
documents and discussions about an engineering artifact. A Design Web 
enables users to see evolving connections between concepts by using a 
navigable web-based interface that synthesizes the design knowledge from 
multiple sources of information.
