Dear Rich and Gerry,

Thanks for sorting that out, Gerry.

I should perhaps point out, since this is ISO material, that although the full standard has a hefty charge attached to it, the schema itself, either the EXPRESS-G which Rich found – and includes definitions, or the lexical version that Gerry posted are available free of charge.

Regards

Matthew West

Rich:

Attached is a lexical version of the ISO 15926-2 schema. It is in the EXPRESS language (ISO 10303-11). It should be fairly straightforward to process it with scripts, but in case you want a real parser, there is a free one available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/osexpress/.

Hi Matthew,

I found this graph on your website. Is there a way to get graphs like this in relational format, e.g. I would like to import your ISO classes and so on into my own software. To do that with 201 entities manually could be very time consuming.

So any format that is machine readable is preferred – I can write template code once to generate software definitions of the classes, entities and relationships if a good machine readable version is available.

Sincerely,

Rich Cooper

[MW] ISO 15926 contains some 15000+ classes. The "upper" part is in the form

of a data model that is about 200 classes.

[MW] You can find the data model part of ISO 15926 here as a data model:

http://www.tc184-sc4.org/wg3ndocs/wg3n1328/lifecycle_integration_schema.html

I gave a talk to ontolog a couple of years ago, complete with audio as an

introduction and you can find various papers on my personal web-site

(below).

You also had a link to the RDL in a recent message.
