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 PDES Testbed is a facility established at NIST for the purposes of validating, testing, developing software tools for, and refining the proposed standard. Some of this effort is being performed in conjunction with industrial partners through research agreements and memorandums of understanding. The PDES, Inc. industrial consortium is a key NIST partner in this effort. The object of this report is to discuss the results of an investigation into the PDES data exchange capability of three of the primary software components.
