This section specifies the template referencing_product_as_individual.

NOTE The template has been defined in the context of the capability representing_product_as_individual which provides an overall description of the relevant parts of the ISO 10303-239 information model and a description of related templates.

NOTE An explanation of a template and the associated instantiation path is provided in the Template overview section.

Description

This template describes how to represent a reference to a serialized product by its identification, without a reference to its realization or modification status.

Model diagrams

The EXPRESS-G diagram in Figure 1 shows the templates and EXPRESS entities that are required to represent the template "referencing_product_as_individual". The text highlighted in blue shows the template parameters.

The graphic for the template to be used in other EXPRESS-G diagrams is shown in Figure 2 below.

Input parameters

The following input parameters are defined for this template:

prod_ind_id (Type='STRING')

Identification of the Product_as_individual.

prod_ind_id_class (Type='CLASS')

The name of the class used to classify the product as individual identifier (@prod_ind_id) and to provide the role or reason for the identification.

The following classes and their sub-classes can be used:

classifications: "Product_as_individual_identification_code" (urn:plcs:rdl:std:Product_as_individual_identification_code)

prod_ind_id_ecl_id (Default=urn:plcs:rdl:std,Type='URN')

The id of the External_class_library storing the @prod_ind_id_class

prod_ind_org_id (Type='STRING')

The identifier of the Organization that "owns" the product as individual identifier.

prod_ind_org_id_class (Default=Organization_name,Type='CLASS')

The name of the class that determines the type of identifier being used for identifying the Organization. For example CAGE code.

The following classes and their sub-classes can be used:

classifications: "Organization_identification_code" (urn:plcs:rdl:std:Organization_identification_code), "Organization_name" (urn:plcs:rdl:std:Organization_name)

prod_ind_org_id_ecl_id (Default=urn:plcs:rdl:std,Type='URN')

The id of the External_class_library storing the definition of the class used to classify the organization identifier.

part (Type= 'ENTITY (Part)' )

The Part of which the Product_as_individual is a realization.

Reference parameters

The following reference parameters are defined for this template:

prod_ind(Type='ENTITY (Product_as_individual)')

Allow the Product_as_individual entity instantiated in this path to be referenced when this template is used.

Note: The Product_as_individual entity can be referenced in a template path by:

%^target = $referencing_product_as_individual.prod_ind%

where target is the parameter to which the Product_as_individual is bound.

Uniqueness constraints

The following parameter combinations specify a uniqueness constraint:

Unique constraint: Product_as_individual

Each instance of the entity (Product_as_individual) within the data set shall be uniquely identified by a combination of the following parameters on this template (referencing_product_as_individual) namely: prod_ind_id, prod_ind_id_class, prod_ind_id_ecl_id, prod_ind_org_id, prod_ind_org_id_class, prod_ind_org_id_ecl_id.
The instance is referenced by the following template parameter: prod_ind.

Instantiation path

The instantiation path shown below specifies the entities that are to be instantiated by the template.

A description of templates and the syntax for the instantiation path is provided in the Templates Help/Information section.

Product_as_individual

-- Mark the Product_as_individual entity as
-- referable when this template is used by binding it to the reference
-- parameter prod_ind
%^prod_ind = Product_as_individual%
Product_as_individual.id = '/IGNORE'
Product_as_individual.name = '/IGNORE'
Product_as_individual.description = '/IGNORE'

-- Identification of the Product_as_individual
/assigning_identification(
    items=^prod_ind,
    id=@prod_ind_id,
    id_class_name=@prod_ind_id_class,
    id_ecl_id=@prod_ind_id_ecl_id,
    org_id=@prod_ind_org_id,
    org_id_class_name=@prod_ind_org_id_class,
    org_id_ecl_id=@prod_ind_org_id_ecl_id )/
Product_design_to_individual
Product_design_to_individual.individual_product -> ^prod_ind
Product_design_to_individual.product_design -> @part

The following entities are instantiated with attributes as specified:

Entity in path	Value	Inherited from
Product_as_individual.id	'/IGNORE'	Product.id
Product_as_individual.name	'/IGNORE'	Product.name
Product_as_individual.description	'/IGNORE'	Product.description

Instance diagrams

The instance diagram in Figure 3 shows an example of the EXPRESS entities and templates that are instantiated by the template:

/referencing_product_as_individual(prod_ind_id='23465-481', prod_ind_id_class='Serial_number', prod_ind_id_ecl_id='urn:plcs:rdl:sample', prod_ind_org_id='Bike Ltd', prod_ind_org_id_class='Organization_name', prod_ind_org_id_ecl_id='urn:plcs:rdl:std', part='#1')/

(an illustration of the consolidated referencing_product_as_individual template is shown in Figure 4 below.)

The instance model in STEP ASCII exchange file format (ISO 10303 Part 21 syntax) is:


          #1 = PART('/IGNORE','/IGNORE','/IGNORE');
          #2 = PRODUCT_AS_INDIVIDUAL('/IGNORE','/IGNORE','/IGNORE');
          #3 = PRODUCT_DESIGN_TO_INDIVIDUAL(#1,#2);
          #5 = IDENTIFICATION_ASSIGNMENT('23465-481','/IGNORE',$,(#2));
          #7 = CLASSIFICATION_ASSIGNMENT(#9,(#5),'/IGNORE');
          #9 = EXTERNAL_CLASS('/NULL','Serial_number','/IGNORE',#10);
          #10 = EXTERNAL_CLASS_LIBRARY('urn:plcs:rdl:sample',$);
          #12 = ORGANIZATION('/IGNORE','/IGNORE');
          #14 = IDENTIFICATION_ASSIGNMENT('Bike Ltd','/IGNORE','/IGNORE',(#12));
          #16 = CLASSIFICATION_ASSIGNMENT(#18,(#14),'/IGNORE');
          #18 = EXTERNAL_CLASS('/NULL','Organization_name','/IGNORE',#19);
          #19 = EXTERNAL_CLASS_LIBRARY('urn:plcs:rdl:std',$);
          #20 = ORGANIZATION_OR_PERSON_IN_ORGANIZATION_ASSIGNMENT(#12,'/IGNORE',(#5));
          #22 = CLASSIFICATION_ASSIGNMENT(#24,(#20),'/IGNORE');
          #24 = EXTERNAL_CLASS('/NULL','Owner_of','/IGNORE',#19);

Characterizations

No common characterizations of the template referencing_product_as_individual have been identified. However, the ISO 10303-239 EXPRESS model may enable other assignments to the entities instantiated by the template.
