In this example, the methodology is used in two different levels:

  • Project design components
    • Provide a high-level view of the project itself.
    • The description here is rather general and shows the alignment of the project with the COVESA's goals.
  • ArtifactsArtifact(s) design components
    • Provide a detailed view of the main artifacts that belong to the project.  
    • The description here is mostly technical.

Problem

Inconsistent data representation of vehicle properties across the automotive industry.


Causes

  • Different vehicular systems use disparate data models for concepts of common interest.
    • Examples of vehicular systems: applications, databases, streaming platforms, , etc.
    • Examples of data models (or elements of): terms, hierarchies, meaning, language, datatypes, etc. 

Effects

  • Interoperability issues.
  • Repetition in data engineering processes.
  • Increased complexity and maintenance costs.
  • Waste of time and resources.
  • Slow innovation.
