Content Information Type Specification for 3D Product Models, 3DPM
Opening date: July 15, 2024
Closing date: October 15, 2024
Abstract
The CITS 3DPM is a Content Information Type Specification (CITS) for 3D Product Models as used in the engineering and aerospace industries. The specification is designed to be used for the transfer to archives as well as for records exchange between different 3D Product Model systems. The specification is supported by METS profiles for the Root and Representation METS files and accompanying Guideline document. The 3D Product Model content specification limits its scope to the area of 3D digital product data such as computer aided design (CAD) or product data model (PDM) data where there is a current international standard for the long term archiving of this class of data in the LOTAR “Long Term Archiving and Retrieval of digital technical product information” , which is published as the EN and NAS 9300 series. However, although LOTAR extensively references and extends ISO 14721 the “Open reference model for Archiving Information System”, (OAIS) it does not extend into areas detailed in the E-ARK common specification for information packages (CSIP). LOTAR references and builds on ISO 10303, the Standard for the Exchange of Product model data (STEP) and so with this E-ARK 3DPM CITS we have the opportunity to add to an existing layered standards model.

The questions we want you to answer in your feedback are the following
- Do you think it is helpful to reference requirements in the LOTAR standard within the 3DPM CITS?
- Should references to LOTAR be contained only in the Guideline document?
- Are there requirements which you think are missing?
- Are there requirements which you think are not relevant?
- Are there requirements which you think are too ambitious?
- Are there requirements which you think are not ambitious enough?
- Do you disagree with any of the cardinality or levels?
- Do you think that the example package is useful?
- Is there anything else you would like to see in the repository?
- Can you aid us with further examples?
- Do you have any further comments regarding CITS 3DPM?
