Industrial automation systems and integration — Parts library — Part 25: Logical resource: Logical model of supplier library with aggregate values and explicit content

ISO 13584-25:2004 provides generic EXPRESS resource constructs that support the description of aggregate data types and values occurring in supplier libraries. It also contains an integrated EXPRESS information model for representing supplier libraries for the purpose of exchange. This integrated information model integrates the above resource constructs with other EXPRESS resource constructs from different parts of ISO 13584 and ISO 10303 into one single schema. Supplier libraries may consist of definitions and of representations of families of parts. They may also define new representation categories. Supplier libraries may consist only of dictionary elements with or without aggregate data types, or they may also contain explicit specifications of the sets of permitted instances.

When used together with view exchange protocols, this integrated information model also permits the exchange of one or several representation categories for the parts defined in a parts library.

The following are within the scope of ISO 13584-25:2004:
