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

  • Project
    • 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.
  • Artifacts
    • Provide a detailed view of the main artifacts that belong to the project.  
    • The description here is mostly technical.

Project

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.

Goal

To lead the global standardisation of vehicle data, fostering innovation and collaboration in the automotive industry.


The project's goal is inherit from the goals of the whole organization.

Artifacts

  • VSS Data model
  • VSS Tools




Artifact - VSS Data model

Problem

Inconsistent data representation of vehicle properties across the automotive industry.

Goal

To unify descriptions, meaning, and relevant metadata for vehicle properties.

Artifact

  • VSS Data model

Requirements

FeatureFunctionalNon-funcionalScope

A common controlled vocabulary for referring to vehicle properties










Artifact - VSS Tools

Problem

The data specification alone is not machine readable.

Goal

To enable machines to interpret and use the specification in real systems.

Artifact

  • VSS Tools

Requirements
