ISO TC184/SC4 has developed the technology for digital product data representation
and exchange that is represented by a family of International Standards. The range
of some of the applications of this technology in several areas of advanced engineering
is indicated in the selection of standards and links in the list shown below. All
of the parts of ISO 10303 standards use common sections of information models to
describe requirements that are common throughout engineering. They illustrate how
the basic technology is extendable to cope with new requirements and show how the
needs for interoperability and data conservation are common across all industrial
sectors.
SC4 Implementation Forum -support and advice for users and potential user of SC4
standards
