Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide 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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. 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.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 25297-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 172, Optics and photonics, Subcommittee SC 1,
Fundamental standards.
ISO 25297 consists of the following parts, under the general title Optics and photonics — Electronic exchange
of optical data:

ISO 25297-1:2010(E)
Introduction
This part of ISO 25297, dealing with the Neutral Optical Data Interchange Format (NODIF), is the International
Standard that describes the way optical information is transferred from one computer-aided-design program
(CAD, CAE, CAM) to another, in a machine-independent and language-independent format.
ISO 10303 (all parts) is the International Standard for Exchange of Product model data (STEP) that describes
the computer-interpretable representation and exchange of product data. Its objective is to provide a neutral
mechanism capable of describing any product data throughout the life cycle of the product, independent of
any particular system. This description makes it suitable not only for neutral file exchange, but also as a basis
for implementing and sharing product databases and for archiving. ISO 10303 (all parts) has been designed to
support an extensive domain of product data-communication requirements, i.e. all product data necessary to
completely define any product for all applications over the product's life cycle.
STEP is organized in a series of parts, each published separately. Each part falls into one of the following
categories: descriptive methods, integrated resources, application integrated constructs, application protocols,
abstract test suites, implementation methods and conformance testing. The series is described in
ISO 10303-1.
A fundamental concept is the definition of the application protocol (AP), which is the mechanism for specifying
information requirements and for ensuring reliable communication. An application protocol defines the context,
scope and information requirements for a particular product and specifies the resource constructs required to
satisfy these requirements. Application protocols employ three types of information models:
a) an application activity model (AAM), which describes the activities and processes that use and produce
the product data in a specific application context;
b) an application reference model (ARM), which defines the terminology within the application context and
specifies the conceptual structures and constraints that are used to describe the information requirements
for an application;
c) an application interpreted model (AIM), which is a model of selected integrated resources that are
constrained, specialized or completed to satisfy the information requirements of the ARM.
This part of ISO 25297 for NODIF is intended to conform to the requirements of ISO 10303 (all parts) as a
member of the application protocol series.
