Overview

ISO/TS 10303-25:2005 (Industrial automation systems and integration - Product data representation and exchange - Part 25) defines an EXPRESS to XMI binding. The technical specification specifies a mapping from the EXPRESS data specification language into the Object Management Group’s (OMG) Unified Modeling Language (UML), with the explicit purpose of generating files that conform to the OMG XML Metadata Interchange (XMI) format. This TS is part of the ISO 10303 (STEP) family focused on product data representation and exchange for industrial automation and systems integration.

Key Topics

  • Scope and purpose: Defines the goals and intended outcomes of an EXPRESS→UML→XMI mapping for interoperable metadata exchange.
  • Mapping rules: Prescribes how EXPRESS language constructs are represented in UML and serialized using XMI to ensure consistent interchange (naming, packaging and representation conventions).
  • Data typing and structure: Covers the translation of EXPRESS types, complex structures and relationships into UML-compatible representations suitable for XMI output.
  • Metadata and serialization: Addresses generation of XMI-compliant files so tools that support OMG XMI can consume EXPRESS-derived models.
  • Implementation guidance: Provides implementers with method-level guidance to produce toolchains and exporters that reliably convert EXPRESS schemas into XMI artifacts.

Applications

ISO/TS 10303-25:2005 is valuable for organizations and practitioners who need robust, standards-based product data interchange across heterogeneous tools and platforms:

  • CAD/PLM/PDM software developers building import/export functions between STEP/EXPRESS definitions and UML/XMI-based modeling tools.
  • Systems integrators and automation engineers implementing data exchange pipelines between engineering systems and enterprise IT.
  • Data architects and model translators who convert EXPRESS schemas into UML models for model-driven development, validation, or visualization.
  • Tool vendors and middleware providers creating XMI exporters/importers to enhance interoperability across engineering toolchains.

Practical benefits include improved interoperability across model repositories, easier integration of engineering data with UML-based systems, and standardized XML-based exchange artifacts for automation and lifecycle management.

Automation systems and integration - Nuclear digital ecosystem - Part 1: Overview and framework

This document describes a shared conceptual framework for the nuclear digital ecosystem (NDE). In addition, this framework also serves as a systematic basis for a series of additional standards for management methods and technical guidelines for information integration and exchange, specifically in the nuclear industry. The framework focuses on the nuclear industry-specifics with management requirements as well as information specifications to facilitate practical benefits from implementing ISO standards. It is viable because the industry scope is narrowed down to the nuclear sector, while the management concerns are expanded to cover the various disciplines throughout the entire life cycle. The following are within the scope of this document: - definition of the conceptual structure of the nuclear ecosystem with components and relationships in terms of facility type, life cycle (lifetime), and technical management methodology; the scope of this document exclusively addresses ‘all reactor-related facilities’; - definition of the industry sectors involved within NDE, encompassing civil, architectural, mechanical, electrical, I&C, process engineering and ICT; - list of high-level constituents for each component; - instructions to guide the collective use of this document and existing standards to specify information requirements within the NDE for different functional purposes. The following are outside the scope of this document: - definition of detailed management methodologies or processes related to the standard data exchange; - list of detailed properties and structures of the required information exchange (IE).
