Abstract/Summary: Information management systems play an essential role in the Product Lifecycle Management. Data and documents as well are edited in a digital form and have both to be coherent along the lifecycle. A document must be preserved through time for its use through space. Difficulties observed on various industrial fields in the use of digital documents and more particularly concerning the updating issue conduct us to propose an UML model addressing on one hand the requirements for records keeping and on the other one the needs for easier using and more efficient updating with feedback information captured in operation, maintenance and dismantling activities. This model could be generalized to take into account the various business requirements and needs along the product lifecycle.
