Scope

This Technical Specification establishes an architecture, a methodology, and other specifications for integrating industrial data for exchange, access, and sharing. The following activities are supported:
— integrating data which may be:
— from different sources or different contexts,
— described by different models, or
— defined in different modelling languages;
— sharing data among applications through systems integration architectures;
— resolving conflict between models developed with different objectives;
— translating data between different encodings;
— translating models between different modelling languages.
The following are within the scope of ISO 18876:
— integration models;
— methods for creating, extending, and updating integration models;
— methods for creating a mapping specification to map data instances between an integration model and an application model that falls within its scope;
— encoding and decoding of data and models with different formats, such as SGML [1], XML [7], EXPRESS [3], UML [6] and ISO 10303-21 [4];
— methods for consolidating data sets from different sources and different models;
— modelling and mapping specification languages.
The following is within the scope of this part of ISO 18876:
— the architecture and an outline of the methodology.
The following are outside the scope of this part of ISO 18876:
— integration models;
— detailed specifications of the methodology;
NOTE Such specifications can be found in other parts of ISO 18876 or in other standards.
— translating data between different encodings;
— encoding and decoding of data and models with different formats;
— modelling and mapping specification languages.
