Abstract:
The Product Data Exchange Specification (PDES) is an emerging standard that is intended to address the problems of data exchange and representation for a variety of manufacturing enterprises. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has a long-standing research program that addresses the problems of integration and development of automated manufacturing systems. This document presents a software architecture that incorporates PDES into the software applications that are part of NIST's work in Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM).
