Abstract:
-
This paper describes a software environment recently implemented for
maintaining a registry of unique short names for each of the entity
data types within each of the EXPRESS schemas in the ISO TC184/SC4
standards. The new environment replaces an inefficient application
and has already provided time savings for both the registry's
administrator and editors of SC4 standards. It is also improving the
quality of SC4 standards. The new SC4 Short Names Registry resides on
a server at NIST and uses an SQL database engine in conjunction with
the NIST EXPRESS Toolkit. Two applications have been developed for
accessing the Short Names Registry. An application for end users that
is accessible using the World Wide Web allows individuals to view SC4
part summary information and entity long names and short names in a
variety of useful formats. An application for database administrators
supports the insertion, deletion, and modification of SC4 parts.
