  abstract = {Manufacturing companies face the challenge of maintaining documentation and knowledge about their projects and products, scattered in heterogenous, distributed databases, represented in different formats and languages, and hosted in mutually incompatible systems. At the same time, the knowledge needs to be accessed on a global level from different perspectives and user groups, such as project planners, designers, and maintenance personnel. This paper presents a case study, based on real datasets of a major international diesel engine and power plant manufacturer, where these problems are addressed simultaneuosly by harmonizing the datasets from different sources using RDF, and by linking them together into a global repository using shared resources. Based on the global RDF store, services for both human and machine users, such as a faceted search engine and a SPARQL end-point, can be provided to support access from different perspectives to the company knowledge base.}
