The aim of archiving engineering data for long term storage and for short term collaborative design remains blocked by numerous obstacles arising from the nature of engineering data and design processes. This paper introduces three research initiatives addressing these obstacles in the contexts of undergraduate education, cutting edge robotics, and industrial manufacturing.
