Minutes:
Objective

The primary objectives of this session were to focus future development activities, prepare a forward plan and prepare TC input to the Implementors Forum workshop.

1.	Welcome by Chair

	Chair welcomed everyone to the first Face-to-Face meeting for two years, during which the first DEX had passed through to adoption as an OASIS Technical Specification, and the TC had learned a number of lessons about the process
	Noted development of AP242, and its emphasis on the creation of a Business Object Model
	Technologies for standards development, implementation and testing had advanced
	Number of new DEXs including new Item Identification DEX submitted from DNV
	Implementors Forum now under active preparation
	Key challenges is to bring all the strands together into a systematic approach to develop, implement and test DEXes, balancing the need for innovation with the handling of legacy information.

2.	Roll call

3.	Publication of Task DEX as a Committee Specification 
Action item 55/1: Check with Robin Cover (OASIS) to see if TC needs to do anything to get it published (Secretariat)  completed
Action item 53/3: Secretariat to resource spreadsheet against work getting Task DEX out (Chris Kreiler / Colin Tweedie)
	Lessons learned 
	Budgetary requirements
	Main issue was delay in OASIS
	Comments received from Robin Cover (OASIS) acted upon and Task DEX published as an OASIS Specification
	Next step is move to OASIS Standard.  Need 3 Statements of use.  None as yet.  UKMOD plans to implement when funding available.  Saab implemented a draft version with JOTNE/EPM, not in use.
	It was questioned whether all the changes required by OASIS had been incorporated in the publication scripts, which would be required for the next DEX.  James Nyambayo (LSC Group) will check with Ann Meads and Colin Tweedie
	Taking Task DEX forward to OASIS standards requires 15% of OASIS member approving.  May be the acid test of whether moving to OASIS was a wise move.  

Action item 57/1: Check with Ann Meads and Colin Tweedie if all of Robin Cover's comments on the Task DEX were incorporated in the scripts (James Nyambayo)

4.	AP 239 e2 status (Rob Bodington)

	CR5 containing the necessary modules has been balloted.  Still with Convener awaiting corrections that must be made prior to submission to ISO  (note subsequent to meeting: completed 16 March)
	AP 239 ed2 with SC 4/WG 3 convener
	Need CR5 to be published as SMRL v5 before AP 239 ed2 can be published

Action item 57/2: Check with SC 4/WG 3 convener to see what is the hold up for CR5  (Howard Mason) - completed
5.	Workstreams (Chair)
o	Process development (TOG)
Recommendations from TOG based on lessons learned from Task DEX and earlier project.
Action item 46/1: Provide Tor Arne with any inputs to expand the PLCS Activity Model (All)  convert to standing action
Action item 52/3: Explore potential dates for TOG/CORE Team face-to-face meeting (Tor Arne Irgens)
Action item 54/1: Members to forward AP239 edition 1 and edition 2 concerns, inputs, issues, and observations to TOG (All)
Action item 54/2: Post inputs for AP239 edition 1 and edition 2 concerns, issues, and observations to TOG (Chris Kreiler, Tor Arne Irgens)
Action item 41/4: Reference data library project review ballot comments for project applicability and send out historical documents for review and comment (Mats Nilsson) (Cancelled  absorbed into Reference Data Program)
	Improved DEX development process

	Tor Arne commented on making the Activity Model more detailed.  Used it to look at configuration scenarios.  However, it was difficult to navigate because of IDEF0 modelling
o	Have seen benefit of using it in support of NATO CM scenario, presented at NATO CM symposium.  Found shortfalls in scenario, rather than in the Activity Model.  
o	Working through the activity model is not easy, you have to understand it and know IDEF0 modelling.  Tor Arne planning to make a travellers guide for moving from one box to another.  
o	Proposes enhancing the AAM, increasing level of detail.  Question, though, is that expanding the scope?  Should it be left as it is?  Tor Arne in favor of detailing further.  Would be easier to understand where DEXs are, if the detail in the AAM was higher.  
o	Question of changing to different notation, process v. activity as well as level of detail.  Nigel Shaw comment: As you get deeper and deeper into IDF0 detail, you end up with a list of sequential activities, or more of a process model.  The model gets more and more difficult to navigate.  It is difficult to find a viable alternative.  Would take quite a lot of work to convert IDEF0 to another notation. Phil Spiby comment: Once you get down to a DEX, you can get deeper into the details with out running into the complexity that you have dealing with the whole scope.   Will require more thought.
o	Leave as standing action, Tor Arne will provide input to the TOG.  
	Presentation of "PLCS  Widening the take up" briefed by Rob Bodington
o	Improved DEX development process
o	Developed by UK Defense Equipment and Support. NDLO, DNV, Eurostep, Boeing.
o	Project set up to make PLCS easier to understand
o	PLCS Web Services paper developed by Eurostep and Boeing
o	DEXLib2 works from AP239 ed2
o	Need classification and identification 
o	Should use SysML approach
o	Need Business-focused Web Services at higher level
	AP242 open to considering SysML approach.  Unfortunate that schedule clock has been ticking while DEXLib2 was still under wraps
	AP242 plans to have a business object model within the standard
	AP203 ed2 changed Bill of Materials (BOM) to match AP214
	Could PLCS approach be used for AP242, STEP APs in general?  AP203 changed bill of material (product_occurrence) explicit as item or implicit as relationship. That is one sticking point in bringing the two together.  
	Approach can be adopted into developing SC 4 STEP modules
	Equally applicable to AP 233 and AP239.  Embracing use of reference data
PLCS discussion  would like to have metrics on performance differences between DEXlib 1 and 2. Could Rob forward metrics?
o	COTS tools, SysML provides type checking, type safe
o	Quick to build templates and DEXs 
o	File size reduced by 1/3 using PSM
	JOTNE EPM web services doing the same sorts of things.  Also similar work in 242 BOM team.  Would be good to compare the transformation simplifications.
	Would need to rework older DEXs to publish as a block within OASIS
	There is a transition requirement even if you dont accept DEXlib2, since you will have to update to AP239 ed2.  Efficient to make both changes at once.
	How will it affect the implementers forum and tools or technology used in the forum?
	Tools which implement the templates and 239 would need to be modified to dexlib2
	Right now our legacy is the DEX (1 at standard level) and templates that support.  Not a significant number of implementations.  Software out there, implementers can still code generate off of the express as before.  
	LOGSA has a contract to have an adaptor created in the old style.  Are there plans to handle ed1 v ed2?  Can carry on business as usual with edition 1.  Is there a mapping from ed1 to ed2 - it is documented but not done.  Files from ed1 would not be readable or writable by edition 2 unless extra work is done implementing a mapping
	Number of tools have implemented SysML
	Can still use EXPRESS if already modelling and is checkable
	Part 28 has been implemented differently in many systems.  PLCS defines how it should be implemented.  May be a problem with different vendor implementations, one of the drivers for the forum
	For the forum, original intent was exchange of p28 files not web services
	XML Schema to represent PSM generated automatically.  SysML is appropriate for web services.  But still need XML for exchange.
	Initial reaction is to go ahead with a pilot to prove concept and make sure it meets the need

	Item Identification DEX ready to go the old way.  Do we wish to continue or do we wish to make it the pilot? It could be the first pilot of a transition, as it is complete. 
	New approach would reduce documentation time 50%
	User side, would help the systems involved better understand the process as well

	Transition from DEXLib1 to DEXLib2 requires
o	PSM review and agreement
o	Go through templates within PLCS
o	Create templates you need
o	Then go back into DEXs and replace templates
o	Establish reference data
o	Then publish
	Nigel Shaws transition thoughts. 
o	Core PLCS templates, startup cost.  Still some work to be done.  Also work to be done on DEXLib 2.  Work in progress still, not completed.  
o	What do I start testing on, current file format is what people are using
o	Then bring in new file format
o	Then bring in DEXs based on SysML
o	Then makes sense to bring in services
	It was agreed that we were not yet at the point where we can use the new process.  Close to that point, need to review and agree on PSM.  Implement the templates on top of it.  If a template takes an hour, we have 80, we only need half of them, so 40 hours.
	Scot noted that if the new way creates an .xsd file, would be a lot easier to test, verify, validate, certify than P28
o	XML schema for validation
o	Validate reference data being used and used correctly, independent of PSM or 239 
o	Ensure that the files that you exchange conform to the templates
o	The data that is instantiated is conformant with the template
o	The XSD file can be validated with generic tools. P28 also is XSD. 
	Lockheed Martin looked down supply chain, 1000 at random, average size of company 20 people.  How do we make PLCS work for those companies?
	The TOG was actioned to review the SysML/PSM proposal with the Core Team before the SC 4 meeting in Portland,Oregon, starting 22 May.
	Tor Arne proposed to respond later this week with a more accurate schedule. All voting members at the table are here for the rest of the week so TC can be reconvened if necessary for any decision.
	Liaison organisations such as SC 4, AIA, ASD and NATO would need to be briefed on any change of methodology.

Action item 57/3: TOG to review DEXlib2 proposal with Core Team before May 22 (Tor Arne Irgens) 

	JOTNE EPM also created handbook for developing DEXs - PLCS Handbook for Development Data Exchange Software_Draft_vn1.3.1.pdf

o	Further DEX standardisation (All)
Members are invited to present information on any new DEX developments they are undertaking, (Standing Action item 37/5)
Members are requested to develop a one-page information sheet on their implementation projects for posting on the OASIS PLCS TC website (Standing Action item 33/2) 
Secretariat to post a quick summary of the "Further DEX standardisation on PLCS website upon receipt of information from PLCS TC members (Standing Action item 53/2)
Action item 41/2: Members interested in developing the Airbus TDP DEX are requested to contact Melanie Baudisch at EADS MAS +49 84 59 81 78 943 melanie.baudisch@eads.com (All)
	DNV submitted Item Identification DEX for consideration. Documented according to version 1 and ready for ballot. Debated documenting in ed2, but decided against since not public.  After some debate, it was agreed to review this further before deciding how to proceed to publication.  It was agreed that configuration control through the standards process probably meant that the DEXes should be treated individually within that process.
	DEX 8 Product as Individual had never been completed, and it was questioned whether Item Identification, could be replaced with this one?
	LOGSAs work with S2000M only doing chapter one, not looking at messaging chapters
	Does LOGSA still anticipate 7 DEXs, have 9 in mind.  Core is product breakdown for support, all depend on that one.  If you have a piece of equipment you can have a facility for it, etc.  
	Nigel Shaw commented that the design intent on edges of PLCS is to manage complexity by allowing things to be brought in by files - can map into PLCS or carry on document paradigm and attach a document.   
	New DEXs under GEIA-0007 sponsored by LOGSA
	PLCS needs to expose DEX that related to ASD and AIA work
	PLCS model was designed broadly to accommodate legacy systems
	Airbus TDP DEX still on-going.  Membership had lapsed but re-registering under their parent company EADS.  Nicholas Figay heading project.


 
o	Web services

Action item 27/6: Determine publication method for PLCS Web Services (Chair, Rob Bodington)
Action item 42/2: Check on next release date for PLCS Web Services (Nigel Shaw)
	PLCS Web Services paper developed by Eurostep and Boeing
	Action item 42/2 cancelled.  Eurostep and Boeing paper satisfies action item
	Do we still need to talk to the OASIS web services TC?  Open
	Recommendations on level of granularity, publication method for web services.  There is still discussion that needs to be had on this area.  Eurostep had put forward a methodology in the Boeing report.
