Implementation Levels for Semantic Integration of Open System CIM Modules

  • Conference paper
Computer Integrated Manufacturing

Abstract

Results from various research projects on CIM, indicate a gradual convergence towards a common integration technology for software modules. Parallel to these projects, standardization activities take place aiming at the semantic integration of these CIM modules. Different implementation levels for software integration can be identified, which are largely independent of the semantic specification of interfaces. In this paper we describe the approach followed by the ESPRIT project 2165 IMPPACT for the integration of CIM software. Implications for software vendors and also benefits to end users with regard to integrated CIM systems become visible. The standardisation of the reference model and the generic database interface and the subsequent adherence are identified as the key to future CIM module integration.

Project leader “STEP Framework” ISO/TC184/SC4/WG5. All authors are currently involved in the ESPRIT project 2165IMPPACT
