Usage |
Intended
to be used as a component parts catalog methodology in conjunction with
ISO-10303 (STEP) product data exchange. |
Scope |
ISO 13584 is a series of International Standards for the computer-sensible representation and exchange of parts library data to provide a mechanism capable of transferring parts library data, independent from any particular system.
Having the following three major application fields:
- The capacity to build taxonomy of parts and definition of technical properties of parts
- With a taxonomy defined, ISO 13584 provides for the exchange of data
- The capacity to add representation to all of the objects defined in the standard

Status & Plans |
Initiated
in 1990. Current Status:
- Part 1 Overview and fundamental principles (International Standard 2000)
- Part 10 Conceptual model of parts library (deferred)
- Part 20 Expressions (IS 1998)
- Part 24 Logical model of supplier library (IS under printing)
- Part 25 Supplier library with aggregate values and explicit content (DIS, under ballot)
- Part 26 Supplier Identification (IS 2000)
- Part 31 Geometric Programming Interface (IS 1999)
- Part 42 Methodology for structuring part families (IS 1998)
- Part 101 Geometrical view exchange protocol by parametric program (IS under print)
- Part 102 View exchange protocol by ISO 10303 conforming specification. (DIS, under ballot)
Plans
- Official work at ISO will cease
- Standards for different industries will likely be created to standardize the content
