- 揭示早期设计阶段数据稀缺,适合研究者与工程师参考。
工程设计与系统工程(EDSE)中数据的爆炸式增长带来了创新机遇,但也因现有数据集分散且难获取,阻碍了方法验证、复现性及研究进展。与计算机视觉和自然语言处理领域成熟的基准生态不同,工程研究常依赖小规模、私有或临时数据集。本文提出一种‘工程设计数据地图’的系统性框架,基于领域、生命周期阶段、数据类型和格式的多维分类体系,支持分面发现。详细设计并演示了一个交互式发现工具原型,采用知识图谱模型捕捉数据集、工具与文献间的丰富语义关系。对当前数据格局的分析显示,早期设计与系统架构阶段存在数据空白区(数据荒漠),而预测性维护和自动驾驶系统则相对丰富(数据绿洲)。论文识别出数据治理与可持续性的关键挑战,并提出缓解策略,为建立动态、社区驱动的数据资源奠定基础,助力数据驱动的工程研究加速。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The proliferation of data across the system lifecycle presents both a significant opportunity and a challenge for Engineering Design and Systems Engineering (EDSE). While this "digital thread" has the potential to drive innovation, the fragmented and inaccessible nature of existing datasets hinders method validation, limits reproducibility, and slows research progress. Unlike fields such as computer vision and natural language processing, which benefit from established benchmark ecosystems, engineering design research often relies on small, proprietary, or ad-hoc datasets. This paper addresses this challenge by proposing a systematic framework for a "Map of Datasets in EDSE." The framework is built upon a multi-dimensional taxonomy designed to classify engineering datasets by domain, lifecycle stage, data type, and format, enabling faceted discovery. An architecture for an interactive discovery tool is detailed and demonstrated through a working prototype, employing a knowledge graph data model to capture rich semantic relationships between datasets, tools, and publications. An analysis of the current data landscape reveals underrepresented areas ("data deserts") in early-stage design and system architecture, as well as relatively well-represented areas ("data oases") in predictive maintenance and autonomous systems. The paper identifies key challenges in curation and sustainability and proposes mitigation strategies, laying the groundwork for a dynamic, community-driven resource to accelerate data-centric engineering research.
