4. The Challenge of Interoperability
e-Business interoperability between organisations and re-use of solutions across projects is imperative to the elimination of wasted costs and to improve data quality
Many standards and initiatives have the potential to satisfy part of:
The overall requirement for interoperability:
Between companies, business partners and through the supply network
Between functions in an organisation
Between application systems

Design and Collaboration
Integrated Logistics Support
Supply Chain
Security (Secure Information Sharing)

8. The ASD Strategic Standardization Group (SSG)
The ASD SSG does not aim to create new eBusiness standards but to support effective governance at European level of International  and European standards:  
Identifying a set of standards to use or to develop in order to cover the full spectrum of needs for eBusiness;
Proposing and applying governance tools at strategic and technical level (e.g. radar screen)
Developing a network of experts

9. The Business Case for Electronic Integration
“AIA members are committed to a vision for e-Business across the industry, where:
all participants in the aerospace value chain will be able to exchange information across an information backbone relative to:
product design,
business relationships,
transactions,
and product support
This vision is to be achieved through industry-level adoption of:
policies and standards,
benefits to prime contractors, suppliers and customers through simplification of electronic trading,
fewer interfaces and simpler processes,
reduced support costs
more agile
responsive teaming.
generate innovative process changes to further improve performance”

13. Typical ‘blip’ S1000D Specification for Technical Publications
Abstract
The International specification for technical publications utilizing a common source database, commonly known as S1000D, has been produced to establish standards for the documentation of any civil or military vehicle or equipment. It is based on international standards such as SGML/XML and CGM for production and use of electronic documentation.
In addition, it defines a Common Source Data Base (CSDB) to provide source information for compilation of the publications and for use in electronic logistics information systems to deliver modules of information direct to the user.
More recently, it has been linked to the PLCS development, which enables the compilation of technical documentation direct from the current product structure, and to SCORM, for training materials

 About ASD Strategic Standardization Group
The ASD Strategic Standardization Group (SSG)  
Overview
The Strategic Standardization Group (SSG) was setup in October 2008 by  a group of  European manufacturers,  A& D associations and military govenmental agency  in order to share efforts of development of common A&D e-Business standards and  associated harmonized European policies for operational use. Both are understood today as two strategic levers of competitiveness for all the A&D manufactures and their supply chains (New role of the Original Equipment Manufacturer as System Integrator, and product & process Information Integrator). The ASD SSG does not aim to create new eBusiness standards but to support effective governance at European level of International  and European standards:  
Identifying set of standards to use or to develop in order to cover the full spectrum of needs for eBusiness;
Proposing and applying governance tools at strategic and technical level (e.g. radar screen, interoperability framework, assessment process)
Developing a network of experts
Developing  liaisons with all relevant standardization organizations
 Collaboration with AIA (U.-S.)
The ASD SSG has established a collaboration with the American Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) and ASD SSG re-use several of the methods initiated by the AIA Electronic Enterprise Integration Committee (EEIC),  (like the Radar Chart representation).

16. Through-Lifecycle Interoperability
SSG objective: deliver a technical paper describing the issues and proposed orientations
Objective, added value of this work, challenges/barriers and priorities
Proposed approach: relevant architecture framework, etc
List the elements to be considered for cross-domain issues (PBS exchange, messages exchanges, virtual plateau organisation, TBD)
Identify against the identified elements the existing standards, their maturity and gaps
Design: need for consistency between SE, design, simulation. Illustrative cases
Manufacturing
Support: consistency between specs, etc) Illustrative cases.
Transverse & Supply chain: need for common approach for procurement processes/transactions, quality, CM, identification of the partner along life-cycle, and security. Illustrative cases: Cross-reference example, obsolescence
Current use of standards by ASD SSG members and their partners/customers
Look at the possibility of tool support to support modelling of business scenarios and the implementations that will underpin them.
Mapping of interoperability between specs (standards) and also between versions of specs (e.g. compatibility matrix and associated roadmap to anticipate future compatibility issues)
Change management/configuration management is key. E.g. delta change and incremental exchange for data exchange/sharing/archiving.
Make recommendations to ensure interoperability across domains (including cross-domain implementer forums) – priorities (eg for which interface between domain), backbone of standards/information models/processes
5/23/2012

17. Through-Lifecycle Interoperability
SSG Intent:
Develop a coherent set of specifications that are interoperable with specifications within its own domain as well as other speculations from other domains:
To minimize project dependency by defining clear guidance and by avoiding inclusion of project and national specific rules and constructs
To ensure commonality between related specifications to support the re-use across projects
To establish a well-defined data transfer mechanism between the different disciplines based on PLCS.
To cover all aspects of business interface activities over the entire life cycle of a product.
To be the contractual baseline for industry and customers
To be up to date with the technical development and changes

20. Through-Lifecycle Interoperability
Deliver a technical paper describing the issues and proposed orientations
A transverse study aimed at developing a "big picture" of cross-domain interoperability, including:
Product breakdown mapping mechanisms (eg Design BOM – Support BOM)
Configuration management (versions, change process) issues
Inter-domain Services (requests, exchanged data, …)
Archiving
Related security issues
5/23/2012

21. Through-Lifecycle Interoperability
One envisioned result is the identification and promotion of a "backbone" of standards enabling cross-domain interoperability, e.g. STEP AP242 – PLCS.
The objective is to
list the elements to be considered for cross-domain issues (PBS exchange, messages exchanges, virtual plateau organisation, etc)
Identify against the identified elements the existing standards and gaps
Make recommendations to ensure interoperability across domains (including cross-domain implementer forums)

23. Key messages ASD SSG seeks the widest participation and contributions!1
A consistent set of e-business standards is being identified, assessed, developed and implemented in answer to European Aerospace, Space & Defence Industry business needs
ASD SSG provides the needed capability:
- Consensus at European AeroSpace & Defence industry level
- Supported by National Trade Associations
- Co-ordinated with US activities
The set of coherent and consistent standards / specifications have been identified and adoption and exploitation is in progress – The ‘Radar Chart’
Several projects have been launched / completed to fill gaps, eg. Long Term Archiving and Retention (LOTAR), Technical Data Package TDP)
A Through-Lifecycle Interoperability technical paper is in work 2 3 4 5
ASD SSG seeks the widest participation and contributions! 23
