Aerospace series - LOTAR - LOng Term Archiving and Retrieval of digital technical product documentation such as 3D CAD and PDM data - Part 121: Semantic representation of CAD 3D Explicit Geometry with Product and Manufacturing Information

1.1 Introduction
This document defines the requirements for the long term digital preservation of the Semantic Representation of Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI) with their possible links to the 3D explicit shape and geometry of single CAD parts. The goal is to preserve this 3D information, without loss, with respect to the geometry produced by the original CAD system, following the principles laid down in EN 9300 003 “Fundamentals and Concepts”.
The requirements of EN 9300 110 concerning the preservation of the 3D explicit shape shall apply within this Part.
The term “semantic representation” is defined in Clause 3 “Terms, definitions and abbreviations”.
1.2 In scope
The following outlines the total scope of EN 9300 121:
- machine-interpretable PMI “Semantic Representation” (Refer to clause 3 for definition);
- the association of the above with 3D geometric shapes;
- the possible association of the above with Presentation of 3D Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI), and 3D annotations as defined in EN 9300 120.
In EN 9300 121, the technology used to preserve this 3D information is based on semantic representation. The main use cases are Certification, Product Liability and Design re-use.
For the purpose of this document, the semantic definition is at the level that supports associative “Cross-highlighting” for the purpose of human readability.
1.3 Out of scope
The following is outside the scope:
- PMI presentation (defined in EN 9300 120);
- User defined attributes that are assigned to 3D geometric entities or at the part level. The archiving of the UDA is defined in EN 9300 120.
- How to preserve additional information:
- - property rights;
- - form features;
- - CAD Assemblies.
- The semantics of special Notes outside the scope of PMI: ITAR/EAR, proprietary, and title block information, etc.

1.1 Uvod
Ta dokument določa zahteve za dolgoročno digitalno shranjevanje semantične predstavitve informacij o grafičnem izdelku in proizvodnji (PMI) z morebitnimi povezavami do 3D eksplicitne oblike in geometrije posameznih delov CAD. Cilj je ohraniti te 3D informacije brez izgub podatkov glede na geometrijo, ki jo proizvede prvotni sistem CAD, v skladu z načeli, določenimi v standardu EN 9300-003 »Osnove in pojmi«.
V tem delu je treba upoštevati zahteve standarda EN 9300-110 v zvezi s shranjevanjem 3D eksplicitne oblike.
Izraz »semantična predstavitev« je opredeljen v točki 3 »Izrazi, definicije in kratice«.
1.2 Znotraj področja uporabe
Naslednje opisuje celotno področje uporabe standarda EN 9300-121:
– strojno berljiva »semantična predstavitev« informacij o grafičnem izdelku in proizvodnji (za definicijo glej točko 3);
– povezava zgoraj navedenega s 3D geometrijskimi oblikami;
– morebitna povezava zgoraj navedenega s predstavitvijo 3D informacij o grafičnem izdelku in proizvodnji ter 3D opomb, kot je opredeljeno v standardu EN 9300-120.
V standardu EN 9300-121 tehnologija, ki se uporablja za shranjevanje teh 3D informacij, temelji na semantični predstavitvi. Glavni primeri uporabe so certificiranje, odgovornost za izdelek in vnovična uporaba zasnove.
Za namene tega dokumenta je semantična definicija na ravni, ki podpira asociativno »navzkrižno poudarjanje«, s čimer se uporabnikom olajša berljivost.
1.3 Zunaj področja uporabe
Naslednje ne spada na področje uporabe:
– predstavitev informacij o izdelku in proizvodnji (opredeljeno v standardu EN 9300-120);
– uporabniško določeni atributi, ki so dodeljeni 3D geometrijskim entitetam ali na ravni dela. Arhiviranje UDA je opredeljeno v standardu EN 9300-120.
– način shranjevanja dodatnih informacij;
– lastninske pravice;
– oblikovne lastnosti;
– sestavi CAD;
– semantika posebnih opomb zunaj področja uporabe informacij o grafičnem izdelku in proizvodnji: ITAR/EAR, zaščitene informacije, podatki v naslovu itd.

Figure 1 — Hierarchy of PMI Terms
3.1
Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI)
Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI) is used in 3D Computer-aided Design (CAD) systems to
convey information about the definition of a product’s components for manufacturing, inspections and
sustainment, which supplements the geometric shape of the product. This includes – but is not limited
to – data such as dimensions, tolerances, surface finish, weld symbols, material specifications, 3D
annotations and user defined attributes. The term PMI, used by itself, relates to a certain information
content within a product definition; i. e. it indicates what information is being stored, independent from
how it is being stored.
Note 1 to entry: Though PMI is generally accepted to be the generic designation, the term Geometric Dimensions
and Tolerances (GD&T; sometimes also listed as Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) is often used
synonymously, as it is the main type of PMI that is currently in focus. Other synonymously used terms are: General
Tolerances and Annotations, Annotation, Smart Dimensions, Functional Tolerancing and Annotation (FT&A) or
Geometric Product Specification (GPS). Some of these are specific to a particular CAD system. Industry standards
for defining PMI include standards such as ASME Y14.5, ASME Y14.41 and ISO 1101, ISO 16792 respectively.
3.2
Geometric Dimensions & Tolerances (GD&T)
Geometric Dimensions & Tolerances (GD&T) are a type of Product and Manufacturing Information
(PMI) that can be either computed automatically by a CAD system, or entered manually by the user. The
definitions below are additions to the terms mentioned in EN 9300-100:2018, 3.6:
— Explicit Tolerance: Any tolerance with a stated (numeric) value, regardless of how or where it is
applied. Explicit tolerances can be applied through general notes, flag notes, PMI or tolerance
dimensions. This must be attributable to a specific feature, feature set and/or datum reference (e. g.
position, orientation). Standard +/− 0,03 notes may be explicit, depending on their use.
— Implicit Tolerance: Any tolerance where there is no stated value and acceptability of the feature is
specified by engineering to be through visual comparison to the appearance shown in the CAD
model. Standard +/− 0,03 notes may also be implicit, depending on their use.
— Explicit Dimension: The required nominal value is stated in the CAD model so that it can be obtained
without interrogation.
— Implicit Dimension: The nominal value can only be obtained by interrogation (i. e. feature to feature
measuring) of the CAD model.
3.3
Semantic Representation
Semantic Representation designates a certain way how information is being stored; it does not relate to
the information content itself. Semantic Representation captures the meaning (intent) and relationships
(context) of a character, word, phrase, sentence, paragraph, specification, or symbol without using any
of the visual characters or constructs that are needed for a human to understand it – such as the letters,
graphical symbols, lines and arrows used on engineering drawings.
The main purpose of Semantic Representation is to facilitate automated consumption of the data, e. g.
for later re-use or for downstream applications. It applies to various types of data, such as PMI,
Composite Material Definition, and others.
EXAMPLE The Semantic Representation of a Linear Dimension includes all of the information needed to
understand the specification (the type of dimension, between which features it is specified…), without any of the
graphic components such as dimension lines and extension lines, their direction, arrowheads and the dimension
value.
3.4
Presentation
Presentation designates a certain way how information is being stored; it does not relate to the
information content itself. Presentation defines the visual representation of a character, word, phrase,
sentence, paragraph, specification, or symbol in way that is understandable by humans. Presentation is
a generic term that applies to any form of human-readable information transfer; this can for instance be
a handwritten note, an engineering drawing, or the display of a 3D CAD model on a computer screen.
Note 1 to entry: The main purpose of Presentation is to facilitate human comprehension of the data, e.g. to
manufacture, inspect, assemble or maintain the product described by the data. For a correct interpretation of the
presented data, it is required that the reader is familiar with the alphabet used and the general type of information
being presented.
In the context of 3D CAD, the term Presentation relates to elements that are visible in the display of a 3D model
and are either located (positioned) in 3D space, i.e. they rotate and move with the model, or in a fixed 2D plane.
Elements of Presentation can typically by styled (e. g. coloured), organized (e. g. in specific views), and associated
with other elements of the model. Presented types of data typically are geometry (3D shapes, surfaces, curves,
points) and characters (letters, numbers, symbols).
3.4.1
Character-based Presentation
Character-based Presentation is a type of Presentation where the conveyed information is stored as
characters (letters, numbers, and symbols). These characters are typically stored in a string variable
that can be retrieved and edited in a consuming application. The appearance of Character-based
Presentation depends on the font being used and may change if the originating system and the
consuming application use different fonts. To ensure no characters are lost from creation to
consumption, the alphabet (character encoding) used shall be specified as well. (This supports both
semantic and non-sematic PMI)?
EXAMPLE In ASCII, the letter ‘A’ is stored as character code ‘0x41’ (hexadecimal).
