#175 OASIS cover - Introduction para 1

[Rob Bodington]

Overall a PLCS is very detailed, a bit overwhelming model that appears to cover all lifecycle areas

for complex products.

NOTE: It would be helpful to indicate in which areas of the model the "[needed] detailed application rules in order to be used uniformly by different users..." are expected to be defined by users.

The NOTE refers to the 3rd paragraph in the Introduction on the Cover page.

[Rob Bodington]

proposal from Sean Barker:

The PLCS information model is larger than any single existing application, and needs detailed application rules in order to be used uniformly by different users and supported by different software applications. These usage rules cover:
• The subset of the overall information model that needs to be exchanged to meet a particular business objective;
• The data elements that are available to the exchange, selected from the optional data elements in the underlying model;
• Constraints on the population of the model, for example, requiring that a network of subsystems take the form of a tree.
This standard "Product Life Cycle Support Version 1.0" defines how these usage rules are applied to the PLCS information model, as grouped together in Data Exchange Specifications (DEXs), each of which specify how the PLCS information model is used to directly support real life business processes.
