ISO TC184/SC4 • SC4 is an acronym for Subcommittee 4 • Focus: Industrial Data Standards • Established in 1983 • Three areas of work: 1) Digital Product Data Representation • ISO 10303 - Industrial Automation Systems and Integration - Product Data Representation and Exchange. (Unofficially: STEP) 2) Parts Library Representation • ISO 13584 - Industrial Automation Systems and Integration - Standard for the representation of standard parts (Unofficially: PLIB) 3) Manufacturing Management Data (Unofficially: MANDATE)
Organization of SC4’s Work(as of 6/27/96) SC4 Project Scope: 3 areas of work with 116 active projects Active projects by areas of work: 1) Digital Product Data Representation • 104 Standards Development Projects 2) Parts Library Representation • 9 Standards Development Projects 3) Manufacturing Management Data • 3 Standards Development Projects

Plan & Arch. Requirements Methods, Integration, Quality, and Tools WG7: Implementation Specifications Three Projects Develop specification for exchange of data via a physical file Develop Data Access Interface Specification Provide information resources on STEP implementations, implementors and tools Develop specifications necessary for the implementation of ISO 10303
Plan & Arch. Requirements Methods, Integration, Quality, and Tools WG8: Industrial Manufacturing Management Data Identify and specify data used within manufacturing enterprises exclusive of product definition data • Three Projects Focus on the Data that: • Reside within a manufacturing enterprise’s resource database • Is exchanged between manufacturing and surrounding management activities • Is used to control and monitors the flow of material within a manufacturing enterprise
Plan & Arch. Requirements Methods, Integration, Quality, and Tools JWG9: Electrical / Electronic Applications Development of resources and Application Protocols for electrical/electronic products. Coordination of these activities with existing standards such as EDIF, IGES, SET, VHDL, IPC and VNS Joint effort between ISO TC184/SC4 and IEC/TC3
Plan & Arch Requirements Methods, Integration, Quality, and Tools WG10: Architecture Responsibilities Define and maintain a consistent set of architectures for the standards of SC4. Develop SC4 Standard Architecture and Framework for methods. Provide technical leadership across the standards under SC4. Identify and implement necessary changes and enhancements to the architecture. Establish technical direction for SC4 and resolve related technical issues.
NIST’s Role in STEP Development • NIST is the SC4 Secretariat • Sponsors US industry SC4 Chair • Provides the STEP On-line Information Services (SOLIS), a service which makes all STEP and SC4 information/documentation available electronically • Provides administrative support to US TAG, the formal US representative to SC4 • Supports and coordinates industrial input and activity across multiple industrial sectors
IGES/PDES Organization (IPO) • US focal point for Product Data Standards and Technologies; ANSI-accredited consensus standard organization • Membership domestic, participation international. • The US technical development body to STEP • Established in 1979, conducts quarterly meetings and maintains IGES • Projects are organized similarly to SC4 • Principal management provided by NIST; administrative support provided by USPRO
US Technical Advisory Group • US Body responsible (to ANSI) for establishing US Position on SC4 Ballots • US TAG Chair serves as US Head of Delegation to SC4 Meetings • Voluntary body; small, official membership (~20 organizations); has membership requirements • Solicits & organizes US ballot comments; ballot coordinator responsible for organizing comments
