4. RDL Core (standard) EXPRESS: Business tailored sub-set of PLCS schema. Data exchange in an open business environment Translator 1 Translator 2 P21/P28 Legacy 2 Legacy 1 DEX n spec DEX n spec Architecture Legacy concepts • RDL: • Ensure unambigous interpretation of standard data • Contains standard concepts for all legacy data • Opens legacy data to selected partners Maps legacy and standard concepts Standard concepts Local ref data • DEX – contains standard ref data only? • Exceptions? • Codification data • Product names • Descriptions • DEX spesification (DEX schema) enables: • Unambiguous interpretation of business concepts and data • Automatic data exchange between legacy systems in an open business environment Translator may claim compliance tothe business concepts and standards represented in the DEX schemas.Quality rules.

5. Summary / issues from last workshop • “Something more” is needed to represent the business concept, as represented by the proposed example, in DEXLib. In this context, the term “business concept” means the business driven need for data exchange. • The workshop agreed a set of DEX and DEX specification requirements that were not resolved by the current DEXs. • It is still uncertain if the current documentation in DEXLib is precise enough for an implementer to claim compliance to a business driven DEX.

6. Summary / issues from last workshop • Observation: OASIS/PLCS has three levels of abstraction: (1) PLCS schema, (2) DEX and (3) capability. Specific business concepts for unambiguous implementations are missing. The Norwegian pilot has one level of abstraction – the PLCS schema, and applies business concept representations only. Capabilities have been applied as functions to support the business concepts.

7. Summary / issues from last workshop • Today’s method to identify and record reference data may not be sufficient. This depends on the boundary for reference data. • Based on the solutions to the issues identified in this workshop, there may be limitations in the DEXLib tool. • The UK MoD document “Common Approach For Mapping Existing Information Models To ISO 10303-239 (Product Life Cycle Support), Working Draft 01, 2004-05-21” may be affected by resolutions to the above observations.
