The Product Data Exchange Specification (PDES) (...) is an ambitious project to develop a standardized format for representing and exchanging information about almost any manufactured product. The specification will include geometric design information and all the information needed to make a part. The "National PDES Testbed" will have several additional functions, including: seeking out and diagnosting unsolved problems in the developing specification; providing a demonstration site for applications of PDES technology; helping to coordinate a national network of other PDES test facilities; and conducting an information and technology transfer program to speed the implementation of PDES standards. The project is funded by the Defense Department's Computer Aided Acquisition and Logistic Support (CALS) Office.
