AP-233 Architecture

ABSTRACT -- This paper outlines the information model architecture of the current working draft, WD4, of ISO 10303 – 233 (AP-233) standard proposal. The objective is to communicate how the architecture of the information model permits the exchange of systems specifications between computer based systems engineering tools. The model architecture makes no assumptions on the complexity of the information exchanged and does not require specific tool capabilities. The paper also illustrates how supplemental information, in particular configuration management and process information, is handled in the information model. We believe that capturing and maintaining this information is crucial for industrial applications and hence for industrial adoption of AP-233 by the systems engineering community.
