Abstract
This paper describes recent results from the National Design Repository Project (http://www.designrepository.org). The Repository is a growing digital library of publicly available Computer-Aided Design data from a wide variety of application domains (Mechanical, AEC, GIS, etc). The long-term goal of this project is to create a flexible infrastructure for managing the relationships between CAD data (designs, geometry, topology, etc) and metadata (documentation, collaborative work, simulation, etc.). Further, based on this infrastructure, we are creating new data structures and algorithms for knowledge indexing and case-based retrieval of engineering data.
