Modeling and implementation of parts library based on standard technology and XML for networked collaborative design

In order to implement the shore and reuse of parts resource in Netvorked Collaborative Design, method combining standard technology with XML to build parts library was put forward. At first, based on PLIB the conceptual model and hierarchical organization of parts resource were built. Then, the formalized-expression and storage for parts resource adopting Tabular Layouts of Article Characteristics U)ere implemented. Thirdly, each rule of mapping the two kinds of data mode, EXPRESS and Tabular Layouts of Article Characteristics, to XML schema was presented to realize the parts library data conversion and transmission in network environment. At last, web-based parts library shoring platform for Networked Collaborative Design was built.
