12. The computer implemented method of claim 8 wherein the original data is shared and reused across applications and community boundaries.
8. A computer implemented method for dynamically updating product documentation and knowledge base associated with multiple automotive vehicular product lines, the method comprising the steps of: employing an adaptive information processing system for updating product documentation and an associated knowledge base specific to multiple automotive vehicular product lines, the system including: a) an adaptive service system interactively and iteratively receiving original data from a data source, the data source including the following: a product documentation source, a field data processing source, a warranty analysis source and a logistics source and disseminating integrated data to the product documentation source, field data source, warranty analysis source and logistics source, the integrated data including the original data therein; and b) a processor associated with the adaptive service system configured to integrate the original data from the product documentation source, the field data processing source, the warranty analysis source and the logistics source without manual input, and to produce integrated data and update the associated knowledge base, wherein the integrated data is communicated to the product documentation source, the field data processing source, the logistics source and the warranty analysis source, wherein the original data is correlated to at least one time factor in a data warehouse resident in the processor; c) wherein the integrated data communicated to the product documentation source is included in adaptive documentation and reporting, and the integrated data communicated to the field data processing source is included in automated search tools and in dynamic guidance for trouble-shooting, integrated data communicated to the logistic source is included in parts order information and parts management systems, and the integrated data communicated to the warranty analysis source is included in root-cause identification and early warning forecasts; receiving original data associated with multiple automotive vehicular product lines from the data the data source including: at least one product documentation source, at least one field data processing source, at least one warranty analysis source and at least one logistics source in a digital data warehouse; integrating, without manual input, the knowledge base with the original data received from the data sources to form integrated data, the integrating step occurring in the digital data warehouse, wherein the integrating step includes a data modeling step and a data analysis function, wherein the integration step is accomplished by the processor; mapping the integrated data with at least one application, the application external to the digital data warehouse in communication with system knowledge, wherein the system knowledge is governed by domain semantics and business knowledge; and dynamically updating the knowledge base and dynamically updating the product documentation and the knowledge base based on integrated data.
