Industrial automation systems and integration — Product data representation and exchange — Part 1: Overview and fundamental principles

This document provides an overview of the ISO 10303 series. This document defines the architectural principles of product information representation and exchange used in the ISO 10303 series. It specifies the characteristics of the various sets of parts in the ISO 10303 series and the relationships among them. The following are within the scope of this document: — scope statement for the ISO 10303 series as a whole; — overview of the ISO 10303 series; — architectures of the ISO 10303 series; — structure of the ISO 10303 series; — overview of data specification methods used in the ISO 10303 series; NOTE This includes the EXPRESS data specification language and graphical presentation of product information models. — introduction to the ISO 10303 series: — integrated resources (IRs); — application interpreted constructs (AICs); — application modules (AMs); — application domain models (ADMs); — Core model; — business object models (deprecated); — application protocols (APs); — implementation methods; — usage guides; — conformance testing methodology and framework; — abstract test suites (ATSs); — scheme for identification of schemas and other information objects defined in the ISO 10303 series.
