Full Description

This standard defines logistics product data generated during the requirements definition anddesign of an industry or government system, end item or product. It makes use of the ExtensibleMarkup Language (XML) through the use of entities and attributes that comprise logisticsproduct data and their definitions. The standard is designed to provide users with a standard setof data tags for all or portions of logistics product data and customer defined sub-sets of logisticsproduct data.

The standard can be applied to any industry or government product, system orequipment acquisition program, major modification program, and applicable research anddevelopment projects. This standard is for use by both industry and government activities. Asused in this standard, the requiring authority is generally the customer and the customer can be agovernment or industry activity. The performing activity may be either an industry orgovernment activity. The use of the term "contract" in this standard includes any document ofagreement between organizations.

The remainder of this chapter provides an overview of the types of logistics product datacontained in the standard. Chapter 2 addresses the specific use of data grouped by functionalarea and entities. Functional areas can be combined to create data exchange sets. Appendix Aprovides a plain English definition for each of the data elements types used by the entities inChapter 2. Electronic versions of this standard provide for hypertext links between the Chapter 2data elements and Appendix A element type definitions. Chapter 3 establishes the requirementto validate an XML instance of the data contained in this standard. Appendix B provides adictionary of reference data element definitions commonly used in the grouping of data elementstypes in Appendix A.

Once again, for electronic versions of this standard, the element typescontain hypertext links between the two appendices. Appendix C provides the XML schema foruse in exchanging the 96 entities contained in Chapter 2 of the standard. Since data exchangecan involve updates to previously provided data sets, the appendix contains rules for addressingdata exchange updates. Finally, Appendix D provides specific DEXs for the functional areas ofTask Analysis, Provisioning (to include a style sheet) and Packaging (to include a style sheet).There are 96 entities with nearly 600 data types contained in the standard. Users should tailortheir data transfer requirements to the specific requirements of the customer. GEIA-HB-0007 isa companion document to GEIA-STD-0007 that provides guidance for tailoring and contractingfor the data in this standard.
