RE: [plcs] Workshop #2 - Synchronise work on DEXs and reference data bet

I will not be able to attend the workshop as the highest priority for me right now is addressing the PLCS ballot comments so that we can publish the PLCS standard.

I have had a brief look at your spreadsheet and pretty much agree with John.

I also think that it is important that we rationalize the reference data that is being developed by the individual modellers.

Regards
Rob

Trine, in briefly reviewing you PowerPoint and spreadsheet I was surprised to see no mention of the entity Resource_item. Apart from anything else this is the key to modelling NATO STOCK NUMBERS, which are identifiers of resource_items. The whole Class, Group, Item structure is one set of ready made Reference Data, applicable to this entity. The NATO RD should not be applied to part_version, because an NSN may be satisfied by any number of part_versions from different suppliers.

Indeed the resource_item/managed_resource area probably deserve more attention from the DEX community than it has so far received. These concepts were specifically designed to provide somewhere to hold the large set of information which applies to items within an Inventory/Stock management environment, and not to a specific part_version, and I am sure you'll find plenty of this across the NDLO!

All.
Please find attached
(1) An updated figure of the proposed example "business concept" that will be used in the planned workshops and
(2) Spreadsheet with draft input to the reference data discussions.

The attached spreadsheet is a draft input to the reference data discussions. Column A, E, F and H refer to instantiation diagrams and capabilities produced in the Norwegian pilot and should only be viewed as references only.
