Introduction

ISO 10303 is an International Standard for the computer-interpretable representation of product information and for the exchange of product data. The objective is to provide a neutral mechanism capable of describing products throughout their life cycle. This mechanism is suitable not only for neutral file exchange, but also as a basis for implementing and sharing product databases, and as a basis for retention and archiving.

This part of ISO 10303 specifies the systems_engineering_representation_schema.

The systems_engineering_representation_schema identifies those representation concepts required by the Systems Engineering discipline.

The relationships of the schemas in this part of ISO 10303 to other schemas that define the integrated resources of ISO 10303 are illustrated in Figure 1 using the EXPRESS-G notation. EXPRESS-G is defined in ISO 10303-11.

The following schemas shown in Figure 1 are not found in this part of ISO 10303, but are found as specified:

• action_schema is found in ISO 10303-41;
• ISO13584_expressions_schema is found in ISO 13584-20;
• management_resources_schema is found in ISO 10303-41;
• product_analysis_schema is found in ISO 10303-53;
• representation_schema is found in ISO 10303-43;
• state_type_schema is found in ISO 10303-56;
• support_resource_schema is found in ISO 10303-41.

The schemas illustrated in Figure 1 are components of the integrated resources.
