OSLC PLM Reference model

Draft proposed as 1.0 for adoption by the OSLC PLM Workgroup

The objective of the model is to provide a representative description of PLM information related to the scenario certain standard representations have been selected to address the concerns of Scenario #1.

We have mined SysML? and STEP representations (based on ISO 10303) due to their ability to represent aspects of context, requirements and system implementation and due to the motive to support modelling.They represent reasonably well documented and utilised representations, supported by multiple organisations and vendors.

Overview of the proposed PLM Reference Model content

Based on the OMG SysML? education example with enhancements for PLM. The main elements are

1. SysML? model representations
2. Requirements Diagrams
3. Block diagrams
4. STEP text, xml and OWL representations

Taking this path also provides an example instance, a Hybrid Sports Utility Vehicle (HSUV), which is readily understood and lends itself well to support certain extensions for the scenario. The attached PLM Reference Model overview lists the extensions made.

The OSLC PLM Reference model package below consists of

- archived SysML? project

- xlst files to process the xmi extract from the SysML? project

- STEP file

- html web site

- png files fron the SysML? project in topcased
