Product Life Cycle Support DEXs Version R5 Committee Specification 01

The purpose of the OASIS Product Life Cycle Support TC is to establish
structured data exchange and sharing capabilities for use by industry to
support complex engineered assets throughout their total life cycle.
These Data Exchange Sets
(DEXs) are based upon ISO 10303 (STEP) Application Protocol 239 (Product
Life Cycle Support). The OASIS Product Life Cycle Support TC is
responsible for defining, developing, testing and publishing of OASIS
Product Life Cycle Support DEXs, and for liaison with ISO TC 184/SC4.
The OASIS Product Life Cycle Support TC coordinates these activities
with relevant OASIS Technical Committees and promotes the use of OASIS
Product Life Cycle Support DE's across industries and governments
world-wide.

Data needed to manage complex engineered assets is often distributed
over multiple IT systems and organizations, and historically has been
difficult to access and consolidate.
The PLCS standard provides a large, integrated information model
covering the whole lifecycle. The PLCS standard provides the basic
mechanisms enabling neutral file exchanges between IT systems and
organisations. This helps remove delays and costs for both the end user
of the product and the supplier, and is particularly important for
service-based contracts such as "power-by-the-hour".

The scope of the information content of ISO 10303-239 covers:

- The identification and composition of a product design
   from a support viewpoint
- The definition of documents and their applicability to
   products and support activities
- The identification and composition of individual products
- Configuration management activities, over the complete
   life cycle
- Activities required to sustain product function
- The resources needed to perform such activities
- The planning and scheduling of such activities
- The capture of feedback on the performance of such
   activities, including the resources used
- The capture of feedback on the usage and condition of
   a product
- The definition of the support environment in terms of
   people, organizations, skills, experience and facilities

Per TC Process, members of the OASIS PLCS TC [1] requested a Special
Majority Vote [2] to approve the Product Life Cycle Support DEXs Version
R5 work product dated 9 September 2010 as a Committee Specification. The
specification had been released for public review as required by the TC
Process [3]. The vote to approve at Committee Specification
(CS) level passed, and the approved CS01 is available online in the
OASIS Library as referenced above.

We thank the PLCS TC members and all reviewers who contributed to the
production of this technical work.

This notification is provided in accordance with the OASIS Technical
Committee Process (Section 2.8) requirements for TC Visibility [4].

Note: On behalf of OASIS and myself as Interim TC Administrator, I
apologize to the PLCS TC members for the consequences of extreme delay
in processing.
