Abstract

This paper discusses the need for a mechanism that allows various views of product data to interface with various techniques for managing product data. The Information Resource Dictionary System (IRDS) [ANSI Standard X3.138-1988] is proposed as an integration and configuration management mechanism for the Product Data Exchange Specification (PDES).
