Regarding co-operation networks the main goal is sharing of production stages ofa complex product between similar enterprises, obtaining thus higher quality,shortening of cycle times and rational use of existing resources. In the proposeddatabase model a product can be described by using characteristic data, e.g. forrotational parts:• d – max diameter of processing• l – max length of processing• IT – quality class of processing• Ra – surface roughness parameterA lathe can be described by the following data:• L – max distance between centres• D – max diameter above support• T – inner diameter of spindle• TK – quality class of the machine tool• PK – surface quality parameter derived from processing methodTechnological capabilities of a manufacturing enterprise evolve based on thetechnological capabilities of machinery (machine tools, presses, welding equipment,etc). Technological capabilities can be defined as a set of characteristics of a device,robot, production module or system for performing some technological task. Thefirst database version of a description of enterprises was completed in 2004 as a CDand an online version. The renewed version includes besides enterprises alsoeducational organisations and suppliers (test version http://www.alertix.net/metnet/).The test version of technological resources was elaborated and tested on the basisof 10 enterprises (http://www.emliit.ee/innoclus).4.3. Modelling of competences of human resourcesInnomet is a project funded by the European Community Leonardo da Vinci IIprogramme. The project aims at developing international and trans-Europeanmethodologies by realising the Internet based human resources development systemas a prototype. The project is promoted by Tallinn University of Technology.Innomet is an acronym for development of the innovative database model foradding innovation capacity of labour force and entrepreneurs of the metalengineering, machinery and apparatus sector.The primary objective of this tool as such is to increase the responsiveness ofeducational institutions to business demands and to improve the access ofvocational and higher educated specialists into labour market. For that purpose it isproposed to introduce an integrated virtual database system for educational andindustrial needs in the sector, which includes links to existing educationalopportunities, e.g. different levels of study programmes, as well as private sectorqualified labour force and mapping of the industrial needs for human resources.The main objective of the system therefore is to supply enterprises andeducational institutions with the updated information related to the needs, structure47
