This paper analyses various aspects of information retrieval for design application within the common product data model (CPDM) represented in the form of fuzzy frame-based network. The goal of research was to develop the structure of this network and to describe fuzzy logic rules used for bottom-up and top-down retrieval of design patterns in vector space. The main feature of the proposed approach is a creation of additional conditions for approximating the desirability of design functions and behaviours during the design process.
