Title: Referencing external data from APs

Gerry,

 

 215,216 & 218 all share the same mechanism defined within the Ship Common Model, but it is not restricted to libraries. There is a PLIB mechanism - service 2 I think (from memory), and something called an external_instance_reference in the ARM defined for incremental exchanges & across the APs. The latter uses (in part) a GUID which is basically an intelligent string and is represented as an applied_classification_assignment in the AIM.

 

I will discuss with Burt/Ron about who may give a presentation - I think EB have some good examples they may wish to show, else I can offer to describe the functionality.

 

regards,

Tim

Subject: Referencing external data from APs

Below is an annoucement of a meeting session planned for Seattle.  I attempted to send the annoucement on 2004-09-18, but it appears that due to a problem using Outlook, it may not have gone to the intended lists.  If so, I apologize for the late notice.

In preparation for the session, I am doing a survey of the use of externally defined dictionaries and libraries by APs.  I would greatly appreciate it if somebody from each AP team could take a few minutes to answer the attached questionnaire concerning your use of externally reference data.  Please return by 2004-10-28 if possible.

Please let me know if you plan to participate in the session, and if you would like to make a presentation.

Thank you very much in advance for your cooperation.

> A session has been scheduled for Seattle on "Referencing external data from APs."
>
> The purpose of the meeting is:
>
> - To see what benefits there are in using external reference data from an AP protocol
> - To understand similarities and differences in approaches among the various APs
> - To see what technical implentation options there are for this
> - To demonstrate the existing examples so-far i.e. PLCS AP239 and AP221
> - To identify needs/opportunities for harmonization
>
> So far, the following APs have been identified as having the ability to reference external dictionary or library data:
