Issue 3086: Attributes (pdm-rtf) Source: Hewlett-Packard (Mr. Duane Silkworth, nobody) Nature: Uncategorized Issue Severity: Summary: The PDM Enablers specify a generic computational model that can be used to access and manipulate information according to a wide variety of detailed information models. In order to interoperate completely, clients and servers must agree on both the computational model and the information model. It is important that the PDM Enablers computational interfaces remain generic and flexible so that they can be used with any site’s proprietary information model and business processes. Resolution: Revised Text: Actions taken: November 29, 1999: received issue October 10, 2000: issue deferred Discussion: There is general consensus on the need to define an information model conformance compatible with STEP. As part of the solution, there may be a need for new IDL to determine what information model set is used or expected by the system. The resolution of this issue is deferred. A joint STEP-OMG harmonization task force is underway and is expected to make recommendations in this area. There is general consensus on the need to define an information model conformance compatible with STEP. There may also be a need to support the Open Applications Group information models and those of other standards bodies and consortia. As part of the solution, it is agreed that the PDM Enablers should support standard "profiles" for naming Properties of many PDM Enablers interface types, and for naming types of Documents. This feature was referred to RFP and will be addressed in the PDM Enablers v2.0 proposal. To complete alignment with STEP exchange models, other IDL changes may also be needed. A joint STEP-OMG harmonization task force is underway and is expected to make recommendations in this area.
