PLCSlibhttp://www.plcs.org/plcslib/plcslib/

The PLCSlib repository of DEXs and their supporting components is organized as follows: Contexts: An index of all the

Context

s;

A Context identifies a domain or business purpose area for which DEXs are defined;

DEXs:

An

index

of all the

DEX

s;

A DEX identifies and documents a subset of the ISO 10303-239 (PLCS) information model required for a specific business purpose;

Templates:

An index of all the

Templates;The usage of the PLCS information model by a DEX is defined through templates. The templates provide a precise specification of how the model is used to represent a given concept;

Model Usage Guides: An index of all the Model Usage Guides;

Model Usage Guides provide guidance on how the information model and templates should be used. Reference data: An

index of the

Reference Data used by the DEXs;Reference data provides a tailorable vocabulary that adds business specific semantics to the information model.

Concept model: A high level

model of the main concepts used in ISO 10303-239. It is intended to be used to introduce on a single page the scope that PLCS addresses.

Activity model:

The ISO 10303-239 Activity Model that illustrates the business activities that are supported by ISO 10303-239; PLCS PSM: The PLCS Platform Specific

Model (PLCS PSM

) that is used as the data exchange form for all DEXs. The PLCS PSM is a

SysML

model; NOTE For a summary of these components and inter relationships, see:

PLCS technical overview.
