Industrial automation systems and integration - Parts library - Part 26: Logical resource: Information supplier identification

This part of ISO 13584 specifies a supplier code to identify the information suppliers of the contents of a library and, when the content of this library was provided in a standard document, a code that identifies this standard document. The following are within the scope of this part of ISO 13584: - a code to identify the supplier of information contained in a parts library, and - a code to identify a standard document when the content of a parts library are defined in a standard document. The following is outside the scope of this part of ISO 13584: - a code to identify the supplier of a part. NOTE The supplier code enables the user of a library to trace the supplier of any information about a part that has an entry in the library and to trace the data given by a particular information supplier.

Overview

ISO 13584-26:2000, part of the ISO 13584 “Parts library” series for industrial automation systems and integration, specifies a standardized supplier code and related identifiers for tracing the information suppliers of parts library content. It defines how to identify an organization (and optionally its sub‑parts) that supplies the data in a parts library and how to identify a standard document when library content originates from a published standard. This logical resource supports interoperability, traceability and unambiguous exchange of parts library data.

Key topics and requirements

• Supplier code structure: Uses the organization identification model from ISO/IEC 6523-1 (ICD, Organization Identifier (OI), optional Organization Part Identifier (OPI), and OPI Source Indicator (OPIS)).
• Encoding rules: Provides functions (e.g., encode, icode) and syntax rules to transform and transmit OI and OPI values unambiguously (see tables enumerating character substitutions and examples).
• Standard document identification: Specifies how to encode a code that identifies a standard document when library content follows a standard (includes rules for ISO/IEC numbering and classification like ICS).
• Data types and character set: Recommends the character set and STRING encoding consistent with ISO 10303-11 (EXPRESS) and ISO/IEC 10646-1 for storage and exchange.
• Scope limits: Explicitly excludes codes for identifying the supplier of an individual part - the focus is on the supplier of the information content, not the physical part manufacturer.
• Annexes: Includes registration guidance and informative tables (e.g., assigned ICDs, registration of information objects).

Applications and practical value

• Enables consistent traceability of who supplied parts library data - critical for auditing, liability, quality control, and versioning.
• Facilitates interoperable parts library exchange between CAD/PDM/PLM systems, procurement platforms, and supplier catalogs.
• Supports implementation of shared or commercial parts libraries where multiple organizations contribute data under different identification schemes.
• Useful when library content is derived from an external standard document, allowing systems to link back to that standard unambiguously.

Who should use this standard

• Parts library maintainers and catalog publishers
• PLM, PDM, CAD system developers and integrators
• System integrators and industrial automation vendors
• Standards organizations and quality/compliance teams
• Procurement and asset management teams requiring data provenance

Related standards

• ISO 13584 (other parts: Part 1, 10, 20, 24, etc.)
• ISO/IEC 6523-1 (organization identification)
• ISO 10303-11 (EXPRESS language)
• ISO/IEC 10646-1 (character set)

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a world-wide federation of national
standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally
carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a
technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee.
International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in
the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all
matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member
bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75% of the
member bodies casting a vote.
International Standard ISO 13584-26 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 184, Industrial
automation systems and integration, Subcommittee SC4, Industrial data.
ISO 13584 consists of the following parts under the general title Industrial automation systems and
integration — Parts library:
Part 1, Overview and fundamental principles;
Part 10, Conceptual description: Conceptual model of parts library;
Part 20, Logical resource: Logical model of expressions;
Part 24, Logical resource: Logical model of supplier library;
Part 26, Logical resource: Information supplier identification;
Part 31, Implementation resource: Geometric programming interface;
Part 42, Description methodology: Methodology for structuring part families;
Part 101, View exchange protocol: Geometric view exchange protocol by parametric program;
Part 102, View exchange protocol: View exchange protocol by ISO 10303 conforming
specification.
The structure of this International Standard is described in ISO 13584-1. The numbering of the parts of
this International Standard reflects its structure:
— Parts 10 to 19 specify the conceptual descriptions;
— Parts 20 to 29 specify the logical resources;
— Parts 30 to 39 specify the implementation resources;
— Parts 40 to 49 specify the description methodology;
— Parts 50 to 59 specify the conformance testing;
— Parts 100 to 199 specify the view exchange protocol;
— Parts 500 to 599 specify the standardised content.
Should further parts of ISO 13584 be published, they will follow the same numbering pattern.

Introduction
ISO 13584 is an International Standard for the computer-interpretable representation and exchange of
part library data. The objective is to provide a neutral mechanism capable of transferring parts library
data, independent of any application that is using a parts library data system. The nature of this
description makes it suitable not only for the exchange of files containing parts, but also as a basis for
implementing and sharing databases of parts library data.
This International Standard is organized as a series of parts, each published separately. The parts of
ISO 13854 fall into one of the following series: conceptual descriptions, logical resources,
implementation resources, description methodology, conformance testing, view exchange protocol,
and standardised content. The series are described in ISO 13584-1.
This part of ISO 13584 is a member of the logical resources series. It defines the identification of the
information suppliers of the contents of a library in order to trace who supplied them and who is
therefore responsible for them. This identification has to be easy and unambiguous for all supplied
libraries whether they are based on external (e.g. national, international) or internal (e.g. company)
standards. This part of ISO 13584 defines a code to identify the supplier withinthis International
Standard, and, when the content of a library was already defined in a standard document, a code to
identify this standard document. Basic knowledge of EXPRESS is required to understand this part of
ISO 13584. No knowledge of the other parts of ISO 13584 is required.

1 Scope
This part of ISO 13584 specifies a supplier code to identify the information suppliers of the contents of
a library and, when the content of this library was provided in a standard document, a code that
identifies this standard document.
The following are within the scope of this part of ISO 13584:
— a code to identify the supplier of information contained in a parts library, and
— a code to identify a standard document when the content of a parts library are defined in a
standard document.
The following is outside the scope of this part of ISO 13584:
— a code to identify the supplier of a part.
NOTE The supplier code enables the user of a library to trace the supplier of any information about a
part that has an entry in the library and to trace the data given by a particular information supplier.

4 Structure
4.1 Structure for the identification of organizations
The information supplier shall be identified as specified in ISO/IEC 6523-1:1998, Clause 4.
NOTE 1 Table 1 shows the data elements that make up the structure for the identification of
organizations defined in ISO/IEC 6523-1:1998, Clause 4.

2) To be published.
NOTE 2 Leading zeroes may appear in the ICD. They are not significant for identifying the
organization.
EXAMPLE “0004”, “004”, “04” and “4” all identify the “NBS/OSI NETWORK” (see Table C.1). NBS is
an abbreviation for the National Bureau of Standards (the old name for the United States National Institute of
Standards and Technology). OSI is an abbreviation for Open Systems Interconnection (see ISO/IEC 2382-
26:1993).
NOTE 3 It is the responsibility of the information supplier to decide in which identification scheme it
applies for registration. A supplier may apply for registration under more than one identification scheme. A
supplier may also apply for only one organization identification for all the libraries it provides or it may apply
for several organization identifications.
The structure for the identification of organizations shall be encoded using the character set specified
in Clause 7.1 of ISO 10303-11:1994.
NOTE 4 The character set specified in Clause 7.1 of ISO 10303-11:1994 is a subset of the character
set specified in ISO/IEC 10646-1:1993.
NOTE 5 Technical Corrigendum 1 to ISO 10303-11:1994 makes important changes to Clause 7.1.
NOTE 6 ISO 6523-1 does not specify the character set that shall be used for encoding the structure for
the identification of organizations. The character set specified in Clause 7.1 of ISO 10303-11:1994 is chosen
in this part of ISO 13584 so that the structure for the identification of organizations may be stored as a
STRING attribute of an EXPRESS entity data type.
When the supplier identification is used within any other part of ISO 13584 or within IEC 61360-2:1997,
the OPI and OPIS shall not be present.
NOTE 7 Although the OPI and OPIS may not be used within any other part of ISO 13584 or within ISO
61360-2:1997, this part of ISO 13584 provides a mechanism for encoding them so that they may be used as
part of the supplier identification when this part of ISO 13584 is used by other standards.

a
The data types in this table conceptually describe the structure for the identification of organizations.
An implementation of this part of ISO 13584 may use any representation of the data type internally.
Requirements for exchange of this information are given in Clause 4.3.
b
The ICD may be represented as a string internally within implementations of this part of ISO 13584.
4.2 Functions
4.2.1 encode
Function encode is used to encode the OI and the OPI so that they can be transmitted
unambiguously. Function encode transforms the string s by replacing any occurrence of a character
in the column entitled “Character” of Table 2 with the corresponding sequence shown in the column
entitled “Substituted string” of the same row of Table 2.

Function encode always replaces ‘%’ with ‘%%’ and ‘/’ with ‘%/’. In addition, any characters that are
passed in the characters argument are replaced with the sequence ‘%’, the character’s code in the
ISO/IEC 10646-1:1993 character set, and ‘;’.
