The lack of interoperability between information systems that support design and manufacturing is known as one of the major open issues in the eld of Product Lifecycle Management. Especially, the BOM transfer between PDM and ERP su ers from a lack of consistent model that would enable a conservative propagation of updated information from one system to the other. This paper introduces a minimal model, based upon an ontological description, that aims at linking, in a consitent manner, design and manufacturing views. This model can be represented in a graphical way, using a cone topology to extend the semantics of the dependency links, leading to the so-called Cone-BOM model.
