NDRProfile Schema Version 1.0 User Guide

December 16, 2008
Author(s)
Joshua Lubell, Betty Harvey, Puja Goyal, Katherine C. Morris
The NDRProfile schema provides a common syntax for exchanging, managing, and reusing XML Schema naming and design rules (NDRs). NDRProfile, used by NIST's Quality of Design (QOD) application as a format for import and export of rule sets, is also useful

Development Life Cycle for Semantically Coherent Data Exchange Specification

December 1, 2008
Author(s)
Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Katherine C. Morris, Simon P. Frechette
In enterprise integration, a data-exchange specification is an architectural artifact that evolves along with the business. Maintaining a coherent, data-exchange, semantic model is an important, yet non-trivial task. A coherent, semantic model of data-

Standardization of Auxiliary Equipment for Next Generation CNC Machining

Author(s)
David Odendahl, Sid Venkatesh, John L. Michaloski, Frederick M. Proctor
This paper presents the recent work of the Open Modular Architecture Control (OMAC) Machine Tool Working Group to support STEP-NC, which is a new standard for the exchange of comprehensive Computer Numerical Control (CNC) manufacturing data. Because of the

STWS: A Unified Web Service for IEEE 1451 Smart Transducers

August 1, 2008
Author(s)
Yuyin Song, Kang B. Lee
This paper describes a unified web service for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 1451 smart transducers stabdards - Smart Transducer Web Services (STWS) developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) based

Extending the Notion of Quality from Physical Metrology to Information and Sustainability

July 30, 2008
Author(s)
Gaurav Ameta, Sudarsan Rachuri, Xenia Fiorentini, Mahesh Mani, Steven J. Fenves, Kevin W. Lyons, Ram D. Sriram
In this paper we intend to demonstrate the need for extending the notion of quality from the physical domain to information and, more comprehensively, to sustainability. In physical metrology there are well established principles such as fundamental units
