    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for collaboratively generating characteristic data regarding at least one characteristic of a component. A querying ontological data structure is provided for structuring characteristic data transmitted across the network. A querying communicator which is connected to the network generates and structures based upon the querying ontological structure a first query which regards a first characteristic of the component and wherein the first query is to be sent across the network.
