• Many manufacturers are providing digital representation of their products, yet it is essential they provide context, with classification, as is the case with traditional libraries
• It is also important to provide the right object, with the right level of detail at the right time

• The industry is still getting to grips with the level of detail required at the various stages of the design process
• The next step for the manufacturer will be the provision of a series of varied levels of detail in their content
• Not overloading the early stage model with memory-hungry data
