Abstract
Pattern languages were originally invented in the 70s as an approach to capture design experience in civil engineering and architectural design. During the last decade the approach has been bruit about in the software community. In engineering design as well as Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), pattern languages have yet not been applied. Because pattern languages have been applied in a wide range of application domains, they are supposed to be expedient to manage knowledge in a multidisciplinary environment like PLM. This paper discusses to what extent pattern languages are expedient for PLM and delineates approaches to develop a cohesive PLM pattern language as an interdisciplinary lingua franca.
