Abstract/Summary: The integration of the notion of extended firm in products development involves the use of knowledge from different skills. Yet, each profession develops its own thesaurus which contains a vocabulary used in a specific context. They are rarely explicit and are difficult to model. Nevertheless, it is essential to define the trade vocabulary in order to parameterize the numerical model, since the first phases of the project. In this way, this vocabulary has to be accompanied with its definition and its use in context. This notion is wide in the area of collaborative work with the setting of a common vocabulary which enables to define the collaborative processes. We suggest a structure, called graphonumerical parameter (GNP), allowing to parameterize a model in a collaborative way.
