Application module: Project management | ISO/WD 10303-1433 |
ISO 10303 is an International Standard for the computer-interpretable representation of product information and for the exchange of product data. The objective is to provide a neutral mechanism capable of describing products throughout their life cycle. This mechanism is suitable not only for neutral file exchange, but also as a basis for implementing and sharing product databases, and as a basis for archiving.
This part of ISO 10303 specifies an application module for the representation of organizational, project, product, schedule and work data consistent with the needs of project management.
The management information includes the structure of organizations; the mapping of persons to the organization; person skills, experience, and certification; and location information such as building location or e-mail address. It includes basic information about the project such as name, ID, duration, funding, and deliverables. It includes the work breakdown structure that specifies a hierarchy of identified work tasks that shall be performed. Often the work breakdown is refined to more detailed levels and supported with a schedule or plan that details the duration of each task and the human and infrastructure resources assigned to do the work and to track progress. In the course of the work information must be controlled by configuration management and issues that arise must be evaluated for the impact and plans revised to resolve the issues.
The total set information is composed of several modules that can be verified by exchange of business information among tools. These are the modules:
Clause 1 defines the scope of the application module and summarizes the functionality and data covered. Clause 3 lists the words defined in this part of ISO 10303 and gives pointers to words defined elsewhere. The information requirements of the application are specified in Clause 4 using terminology appropriate to the application. A graphical representation of the information requirements, referred to as the application reference model, is given in Annex C. Resource constructs are interpreted to meet the information requirements. This interpretation produces the module interpreted model (MIM). This interpretation, given in 5.1, shows the correspondence between the information requirements and the MIM. The short listing of the MIM specifies the interface to the resources and is given in 5.2. A graphical representation of the short listing of the MIM is given in Annex D.
In this International Standard, the same English language words may be used to refer to an object in the real world or concept, and as the name of an EXPRESS data type that represents this object or concept.
The following typographical convention is used to distinguish between these. If a word or phrase occurs in the same typeface as narrative text, the referent is the object or concept. If the word or phrase occurs in a bold typeface or as a hyperlink, the referent is the EXPRESS data type.
The name of an EXPRESS data type may be used to refer to the data type itself, or to an instance of the data type. The distinction between these uses is normally clear from the context. If there is a likelihood of ambiguity, either the phrase "entity data type" or "instance(s) of" is included in the text.
Double quotation marks " " denote quoted text. Single quotation marks ' ' denote particular text string values.
