Product Range Specification (PRS) in the automotive world is one of the most complex PRS that exists in industrial contexts. PRS plays therefore a key role in the information system of an automaker: related data pervades many systems, and numerous applications are using it. This is the case at Renault, where PRS is modelled as a Constraint Satisfaction Problem. In this paper, we study how to represent the objects, concepts and services related to such a PRS using Semantic Web standards. Plugging them into a Linked Data based architecture enables with new ways to access corresponding data and tools in the whole car manufacturing and selling process.
