Application domain and Life cycle stage

["Barker, Sean (UK)" <sean.barker@baesystems.com>]

A Part view definition has a context. This is classified in two ways: as
Application domain (Digital mock-up, mechanical, electrical,
production_assembly, maintenance, etc) and as product life cycle stage
(specification, design, manufacture, usage, retirement, etc).

The importance of these classifications is that the different view
definitions can define different product structures.

Two questions arise: what is the PLCS preferred set of classifications
in each of these two classes? And how should the these be applied and
when. For example, if the view used in a task specification is "design
stage" and "Mechanical", how will this be compatible with operational
feedback which is done at the "usage stage" in the "maintenance view".

One suggestion is to use the life cycle stages in 15288.

All business users should reply.
