Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a world-wide 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.
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.
International Standard ISO 13584-26 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 184, Industrial
automation systems and integration, Subcommittee SC4, 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 10, Conceptual description: Conceptual model of parts library;
Part 20, Logical resource: Logical model of expressions;
Part 24, Logical resource: Logical model of supplier library;
Part 26, Logical resource: Information supplier identification;
Part 31, Implementation resource: 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: View exchange protocol by ISO 10303 conforming
specification.
The structure of this International Standard is described in ISO 13584-1. The numbering of the parts of
this International Standard 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 50 to 59 specify the conformance testing;
— Parts 100 to 199 specify the view exchange protocol;
— Parts 500 to 599 specify the standardised content.
Should further parts of ISO 13584 be published, they will follow the same numbering pattern.
Annex A forms an integral part of this part of ISO 13584.

Introduction
ISO 13584 is an International Standard for the computer-interpretable representation and exchange of
part 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.
This International Standard is organized as a series of parts, each published separately. The parts of
ISO 13854 fall into one of the following series: conceptual descriptions, logical resources,
implementation resources, description methodology, conformance testing, view exchange protocol,
and standardised content. The series are described in ISO 13584-1.
This part of ISO 13584 is a member of the logical resources series. It defines the identification of the
information suppliers of the contents of a library in order to trace who supplied them and who is
therefore responsible for them. This identification has to be easy and unambiguous for all supplied
libraries whether they are based on external (e.g. national, international) or internal (e.g. company)
standards. This part of ISO 13584 defines a code to identify the supplier withinthis International
Standard, and, when the content of a library was already defined in a standard document, a code to
identify this standard document. Basic knowledge of EXPRESS is required to understand this part of
ISO 13584. No knowledge of the other parts of ISO 13584 is required.

Industrial automation systems and integration – Parts

identification
1 Scope
This part of ISO 13584 specifies a supplier code to identify the information suppliers of the contents of
a library and, when the content of this library was provided in a standard document, a code that
identifies this standard document.
The following are within the scope of this part of ISO 13584:
— a code to identify the supplier of information contained in a parts library, and
— a code to identify a standard document when the content of a parts library are defined in a
standard document.
The following is outside the scope of this part of ISO 13584:
— a code to identify the supplier of a part.
NOTE The supplier code enables the user of a library to trace the supplier of any information about a
part that has an entry in the library and to trace the data given by a particular information supplier.
