Scope

The following is in scope of this document: — business specification for long term archiving and retrieval of CAD 3D explicit geometry (see Clause 5); — essential information of CAD 3D explicit geometry (solids, curves, surfaces, and points) to be preserved (see Clause 6); — data structures detailing the main fundamentals and concepts of CAD 3D explicit geometry (see Clause 7); — verification rules to check CAD 3D explicit geometry for consistency and data quality (see Clause 8); — validation rules to be stored with the CAD 3D explicit geometry in the archive to check essential characteristics after retrieval (see Clause 9). NOTE 1 This document includes the geometrical external shape resulting from CAD 3D domain elements (e.g. 3D structural components, 3D tubing, 3D electrical harness, 3D composite, etc.).

Abstract

This standard establishes legal and other business requirements for processes intended to preserve digital data. Data needs to be stored and maintained so that data is retrievable and usable for the required archiving period. In addition, for some business requirements, data needs to be authentically preserved and accessed. This standard is intended to allow for different implementations based on a company’s specific business environment.
