PDM-UG: Document Master Identification
From WikiSTEP
This page belongs to the PDM Usage Guide.
As with 'Part as Product', the concepts of base identification, version identification, and view definition are structurally distinct in 'Document as Product'. The general recommendations given for part master identification apply to the document master identification, except where differences are noted.
Base document identification is always associated with at least one document version. Multiple document versions of a base document identification may be related together to represent document version history.
With 'Document as Product' the product view definition is used to define a view of a particular representation of a document version. A document version does not have to have an associated document representation definition.
The representation view definition of a document version is used for association of document properties, to build document structures, or to associate a document with the set of constituent external files that make it up.
The Instance Model: EXPRESS entities and attributes
The EXPRESS entities and attributes used to support identification of a document version are illustrated in Diagram 33. Document version identification without an associated document view representation defini-tion represents the minimum requirements for document master identification.
