Background:
Roughly, PDM ("Product Data Management") does for CAD/CAE/CAM
models and related objects what Zope does for the objects that
need to be managed in a typical Web site (HTML docs, etc.).
Problem Statement
The problem is to find an open architecture for integrating and
managing the configuration of computer-aided design, analysis,
and manufacturing (CAD/CAE/CAM) tools, models, and data.
The purpose of the meeting is to evaluate technologies, try to
define an approximate roadmap for building an open architecture,
and establish a ROM guess of (1) how much work may be required to
implement the architecture components and (2) the cost of
developing and maintaining an instance of the architecture for an
engineering organization.
Agenda:
* Engineering Tool/Data Integration Requirements
Steve Waterbury/NASA
* GenCAM: a Standard API for Electronic Manufacturing Data
Michael McLay/NIST
* The MEMS Exchange: Python and ZODB for Management of Complex Objects
Andrew Kuchling/CNRI
* The CADScript/IScript Architecture (and Demo)
Doug Cheney/International TechneGroup, Inc.
* Python and Zope: Architectures and Directions
Barry Warsaw/Python Labs
* Group discussion
- How to incorporate interfaces to Python and Zope components
such as ZODB into a standard PDM architecture
- What enhancements to ZODB, ZCatalog, ZPatterns, etc., can
address functionality and interfaces needed for general PDM
- Which pieces of the architecture make the most sense as open
source products, which ones are most logical as commercial
products, and what interfaces should be standardized to
enable open source and commercial products to interoperate.
Cheers,
