The CRYSTAL Consortium is composed of 68 participants from 10 European
countries. Participants range from industrial partners and subject matter
experts to academic partners and cover the aerospace, automotive, rail and
medical industries.

The initiative supports a systems engineering approach as product
complexity increases by enabling interoperability among different
life-cycle domains – including mechanical, electronics, software and
firmware – to improve collaboration, coordination and control without the
need to replace existing legacy systems which avoids disruption and risk.

CRYSTAL builds on results of previous projects in Reference Technology
Platform (RTP) and Interoperability Specifications (IOS) to enhance these
capabilities for corporate use. The initiative enables loosely coupled
systems, tools and platforms to interlink data and share information based
on open Web standards and technologies. More about the CRYSTAL initiative
