Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national
standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is
normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a
subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on
that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with
ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/ IEC Directives,
Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO 13584 may be
the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights.
ISO 13584-501 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 184, Industrial automation
systems and integration, Subcommittee SC 4 Industrial data.
ISO 13584 consists of the following parts under the general title Industrial automation systems
and integration — Parts library:
— Part 1: Overview and fundamental principles;
— Part 20: Logical resource: Logical model of expressions;
— Part 24: Logical resource: Logical model of supplier library;
— Part 25: Logical resource: Logical model of supplier library with aggregate values and
explicit content;
— Part 26: Logical resource: Information supplier identification;
vi
— Part 31: Implementation resources: Geometric programming interface;
— Part 42: Description methodology: Methodology for structuring part families;
— Part 101: View exchange protocol: Geometric view exchange protocol by parametric
program;
— Part 102: View exchange protocol by ISO 10303 conforming specification;
— Part 501: Reference dictionary for measuring instruments — Registration procedure;
— Part 511: Mechanical systems and components for general use — Reference dictionary for
fasteners.
The structure of the ISO 13584 series is described in ISO 13584-1. The numbering of the
parts of ISO 13584 reflects its structure:
— Parts 10 to 19 specify the conceptual descriptions;
— Parts 20 to 29 specify the logical resources;
— Parts 30 to 39 specify the implementation resources;
— Parts 40 to 49 specify the description methodology;
— Parts 100 to 199 specify the view exchange protocol;
— Parts 500 to 599 specify the reference dictionaries.

Introduction
ISO 13584 is an International Standard for the computer-interpretable representation and
exchange of parts library data. The objective is to provide a neutral mechanism capable of
transferring parts library data, independent of any application that is using a parts library data
system. The nature of this description makes it suitable not only for the exchange of files
containing parts, but also as a basis for implementing and sharing databases of parts library data.
ISO 13584 is organized as a series of parts, each published separately. Th
