Abstract:
-
The paper describes the contents of the Product Data HyperStandard
CD-ROM Prototype containing information related to product data
standards. HyperStandard is a generic term describing the application
of hypertext and multimedia technologies to standards in general. The
CD-ROM contains both browsers for perusing the documents, and a number
of other items of interest to the product data community. These
include: IGES Version 5; the CALS specifications; preliminary STEP
drafts, PDES, Inc. technical documents; the NIST PDES Toolkit; plus
miscellaneous other pieces of information. (The sources of data for
the document browsers on the CD-ROM prototype were the original
electronic documents used to print those documents.) All of these
data combined should serve as a useful repository of information for
the community of technical experts developing product data standards.
This variety of information has been assembled to demonstrate that
CD-ROM's are a convenient and cost-effective medium for use by the
people involved in product data standardization efforts.
Attention users of these documents: The information contained
in these files should not be altered in any way. Attempts to change
these files will adversely impact the integrity of the information and
its usefulness. It is intended for use as is and will lose its
usefulness if changed.
