Today you presented a simplified model that had “Part Master” and “Part Version” as two key information model elements. May I ask you if you deal with views (aka version views) and if you have a similar relationship between
“Part Master”, “Part Version”, the views similar to that of STEP?
In our discussions in the last OSLC-related project this was the major modelling mismatch for us, as the STEP model does not assume views to have their own concept resource (using the OSLC terminology) that is independently
versioned.
Windchill PLM does have the concept of Views – these act as branches and typically represent different perspectives of the same set of parts – for example an Design View, then a Manufacturing View, maybe a Service View. They are distinct
versions of the parts, created from an upstream view – so parts start life in the Design View by default, then if needed the part structure can be “copied” to a Manufacturing view and adapted as needed to suit manufacturing needs (e.g. add non-modelled items
like glue, stickers, bolts, packaging etc.). The different views of a part are all related to the same part master. The “View” of a part is another of the criteria used when Windchill PLM resolves a part structure to show a specific configuration (See graphic
below)
For OSLC – initially at least – I think focusing on the Design View is most important as this is closest to the upstream data in RM and MBSE tools.

Partick,
Today you presented a simplified model that had “Part Master” and “Part Version” as two key information model elements. May I ask you if you deal with views (aka version views) and if you have a similar relationship between “Part Master”,
“Part Version”, the views similar to that of STEP?
In our discussions in the last OSLC-related project this was the major modelling mismatch for us, as the STEP model does not assume views to have their own concept resource (using the OSLC terminology) that is independently versioned.
