Howard,

Thanks.  In my opinion AP239 is much more than just another AP.  AP239
is a significant extension to, more emphatically,  a needed
modernization of the
STEP method.    The ARM of AP239 has become in essence another kind of
integrated resource that is within the grasp of mere mortals trying to
use STEP in an industrial application.  The DEX seems to become the
super ARM and the reference libraries become the fine grit polish on the
final interpretation to provide the foundation  for a contractual
agreement between two parties.

Congratulations on a job well done and I look forward to the DEXs.  If I
can be of any assistance in looking over the DEXs let me know as I am
becoming familiar with the main streets and semantic neighborhoods in
AP239.  I  believe the DEXs will speed up the AP239 learning process.
Will there be any "Novice" DEXs for beginners?  Is it the case that
there will emerge in the future some general DEXs that when taken
together sweep out the universe of AP239 entities?


Regards,

John

Suggest you look at www.plcs-resources.org, which is the working area
for the DEX development.  We are just finalising the formal development
process to allow publication of the first few DEX documents.

Howard,

I am developing an implementation of AP239.  How does one acquire the
specification of a DEX.  Is the DEX the IPR of OASIS?   I understand
that
DEXs are to be moved to the public domain but I have yet to find them.
Where can I find information that specifies the procedure for
conceptualizing and publishing a DEX?

Presently I am doing mappings from company specific product data
directly into AP239 without using DEX.  I have simply rummaged through
AP239 looking
for the models that I need.   I am using the AP239 Task Scheme to store
assembly work instructions for my company.  We have a compiler that
converts Part 21 data to logical and set theoretic form (knowledge form)
within the environment of a reasoning engine.   Our goal is to perform
extensive reasoning over a subset of AP239 tasking data in order to
discover defects in assembly work instructions.  I am very close to
having our first work instruction fully translated into AP239.  We will
peform inferencing in September.

Thanks for attending our LTDR meeting last week.  It was good to hear
your voice and your comments.

John
