EuroMPM Case Studies for Students from Bilbao
The following table shows one commodity type per row with some links to some catalogs and other information sources.

Each student takes one commodity type and checks about 5-10 catalogs offering such products.

Each student checks the representation of the products in the catalogs and extracts product descriptions including property lists and graphical representation. Classification codes for commodity classes according to eClass, UNSPSC or other systems should be detected.

The extracted descriptions will be compared to show common descriptions in various catalogs and isolated descriptions in single catalogs.

The comparison includes the property lists of the corresponding commodity classes in eClass or other classification systems.

The comparison includes considerations on the quality of the descriptions.

The students look for the descriptions of their products in other sources, especially national and international standards, standards of special industries (like those collected in the Machinery´s handbook).

The students compare those descriptions with the descriptions they found in the catalogs.

The students develop a proposal for an extended and harmonized description of their product including a broad property list and graphical representations.

The results will be documented in a text written according to scientific standards. The first results will be presented in December in Dortmund. Final results will be delivered in January - text including at least 20 pages and presentation for 10 minutes. Text and presentations must follow text and presentation standards (master slides, ... ).

The results will be presented to the scientific advisory board of eClass in an appropriate way.
