1 Scope
This part of ISO 13584 specifies a representation category, called ISO10303_rep. This representation category captures the generic concepts used to describe the representation of a product in ISO 10303application protocols. This representation category may be associated with any of the items defined in a parts library. This part of ISO 13584 also defines how representations that belong to this representation category may be exchanged within a library exchange context by means of ISO 10303 compliant data repositories.
The following are within the scope of this part of ISO 13584:
-
— the definition of the ISO10303_reprepresentation category, and the mechanisms that are to be used to reference it;
-
— the properties used to characterize a particular representation within the ISO10303_reprepresentation category;
-
— the implementation resources to be supported by any implementation that claims conformance to this part of ISO 13584;
-
— the dictionary entries to be supported by any implementation that claims conformance to this part of ISO 13584;
-
— the standard data to be recognized by any implementation that claims conformance to this part of ISO 13584.
The following are outside the scope of this part of ISO 13584:
-
— the structure and exchange format of library delivery files;
-
— the structure and exchange format of library external files that conform to ISO 10303application protocols.
NOTE 1 The structure of a library delivery file is defined by a library integrated information model specified in one of the logical resource series parts of ISO 13584.
NOTE 2 The ISO13584_f_m_iim_schema, documented in ISO 13584‑24:2003, is a library integrated information model that defines the structure of a library delivery file. Such a library delivery file may contain instance values that reference the representation category and/or the library external files defined in this part of ISO 13584.
Annex A, which provides information on document identification, forms an integral part of
this part of ISO 13584.
