Why Interoperable Product Data Standards Accurate/Current: ‾ “Right Data at the Right Time used to derive the Right Information” Re-usable: ‾ Leverage the investment in supportability analysis in Production & Deployment and Operations & Support Long Term Use: ‾ The Data may (must) live as long as the program

What Standards are the “Best” What standard (or set of standards) is: – the “best;” – most commonly used; – most mature; – provides the “most business value” Many of the standards have been in production use for a long time, e.g., MIL-STD B Many standards have been in development / evolving for a long time – … common joke: ISO standards evolve at glacial speed

What is a Software Vendor to do? … while trying to, – provide the best business value to the target customer base, – ensure existing programs can continue to satisfy contract deliverables – ensure existing programs can mature with new requirements – enable new programs to satisfy new requirements – stay in business Implement applicable pieces of applicable standards – Even if for some reason you want to “eat an elephant,” you can only do so one bite at a time. – Many of the standards provide data exchange sets (smaller domains of the entire scope of the standard) to enable the exchange (and implementation) of a subset of the data definition. – Examples, STEP pdm schema, AP 239: Dex 001: Product Breakdown for Support
