ProSTEP iViP Association Places Standards
|
| Darmstadt, Germany, May 2004 –
ProSTEP iViP Association has made the STEP Standard for
Product Data Exchange available for the globally leading
modeling language UML. The specification “Product Lifecycle
Management Services Version 1.0”, that has been accepted
by the Object Management Group (OMG) in April, indicates
the first cross-platform Model Driven Architecture standard
for the automotive industry. It allows to establish real
collaboration scenarios within worldwide distributed engineering
based on XML.
The OMG specification results from the ProSTEP iViP
Association’s project XPDI (Extended Product
Data Integration). Companies from the German
and European automotive industry take part in this project.
The defined WebServices have been evaluated within the
project and have already been successfully put to test
at some of the participating companies as a part of their
cross-organizational PLM infrastructure.
The standard defines a reference model for synchronous
and asynchronous access on PLM-relevant data based on
the information model of ISO 10303 STEP AP214 “Core Data
for Automotive Mechanical Design Processes”. By using
UML the reference model is independent from any implementation
platform. Based on applica-tion scenarios from the product
development process in automotive industry a comprehensive
set of functions has been determined. The concrete implementation
of these functions has now been standardized by the OMG
for WebServices together with the corresponding XML schema
language. “PLM Services 1.0” define services for the management
of product structure and documents including positioning
information for geometric models, for classification and
description of configuration and change management and
for process planning. Preparatory work for this specification
has been performed within the successful projects PDTnet
(www.pdtnet.org)
and PDM-Collaborator.
The OMG standard “PLM Services Version 1.0” is available
