Why Interoperable Product Data Standards
•
Accurate/Current:
‾
•
Re-usable:
‾
•
“Right Data at the Right Time used to derive the Right
Information”
Leverage the investment in supportability analysis in
Production & Deployment and Operations & Support
Long Term Use:
‾
The Data may (must) live as long as the program

What Standards are the “Best”
•
What standard (or set of standards) is:
the “best;”
– most commonly used;
– most mature;
– provides the “most business value”
–
•
•
Many of the standards have been in production use for
a long time, e.g., MIL-STD-1388-2B
Many standards have been in development / evolving
for a long time
–
… common joke: ISO standards evolve at glacial
speed

What is a Software Vendor to do?
•
… while trying to,
–
–
•
provide the best business value to the target customer base,
– ensure existing programs can continue to satisfy contract
deliverables
– ensure existing programs can mature with new requirements
– enable new programs to satisfy new requirements
stay in business
Implement applicable pieces of applicable standards
–
–
Even if for some reason you want to “eat an elephant,” you can
only do so one bite at a time.
Many of the standards provide data exchange sets (smaller
domains of the entire scope of the standard) to enable the
exchange (and implementation) of a subset of the data definition.

Interoperable Product Data Standards
•
Interoperability will:
‾
Enable more accurate and timely derived information
‾ Make data more re-usable
‾ Improve the quality of the data in the “databases of
authority”
‾ Make data more survivable
•
Interoperability can evolve
‾
Implement to the level of interoperability, and in the
domain(s), as determined by the derived business value
