What is a Data EXchange set (DEX)?
For the purposes of developing ISO 10303 AP 239 (PLCS), a modular architecture was used to construct a single integrated information model. This model was developed in the EXPRESS language. The basic building blocks of the integrated information model are referred to as modules. A Data EXchange set (DEX) is a subset of the overall PLCS information model, comprising one or more capabilities, which in turn are based on the common data modules. DEXs support a specific business process or purpose and can be related to existing information. The developers of ISO 10303 AP 239 used their knowledge and Product Support domain expertise to identify and define the capabilities enabled by each DEX. The use of DEXs will facilitate modular implementation of AP 239. Those applying PLCS and/or vendors providing software applications may claim conformance against a single DEX or a combination of DEXs.
