21. © PDES, Inc. 2010 PLCS - Information Modeling Principles 21  Create a durable data model standard that can be extended/adapted over time without re-modelling or re-ballot  Identify key generic concepts and relationships  Extend/adapt by classification and reference data libraries  Build on existing standards:  PDM Schema and the STEP Modular Architecture  Accommodate values that change over time  Support multiple values for the same property  Support back-tracking & audit  Maintain unambiguous histories  Product Structure, State, Activity  Aim: enable optimisation of support through life

22. © PDES, Inc. 2010 Mapping with Reference Data Entities/relationships 233/239 are general –e.g. Product, Activity, Product_relation –Most entities are subtypes of Product e.g. Requirement, Part, Interface, … Inherit structure and relationships of Product Other subtyping is by classification assignment –Specialization of entities/relationships/attributes –External classes of reference data –e.g. INCOSE subtypes for requirement_version Functional, Performance, Reference, Validation, … –Map to a domain by developing reference data
