Abstract
The Product Data Exchange Specification (PDES) is an emerging standard for the exchange of product information among various manufacturing applications. PDES includes an information model written in the Express language; other PDES-related information models are also written in Express. The National PDES Testbed at NIST has developed software to manipulate and translate Express models. This software consists of an in-memory working form and an associated Express language parser, Fed-X. The internal operation of the Fed-X parser is described. The implementation of the data abstractions which make up the Express Working Form is discussed, and specifications are given for the Working From access functions. The creation of Express language translators using Fed-X is discussed.Citation
