Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO 10303 may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 10303-505 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 184, Industrial automation
systems and integration, Subcommittee SC 4, Industrial data.
This International Standard is organized as a series of parts, each published separately. The parts of ISO 10303
fall into one of the following series: description methods, integrated resources, application protocols, abstract test
suites, implementation methods, and conformance testing. The series are described in ISO 10303-1.
A complete list of parts of ISO 10303 is available from the internet:

Annexes A and B form a normative part of this part of ISO 10303. Annexes C and D are for information only.
Introduction
ISO 10303 is an International Standard for the computer-interpretable representation and exchange of
product data. The objective is to provide a neutral mechanism capable of describing product data
throughout the life cycle of a product, independent from any particular system. The nature of this
description makes it suitable not only for neutral file exchange, but also as a basis for implementing and
sharing product databases and archiving.
This International Standard is organized as a series of parts, each published separately. The parts of ISO
10303 fall into one of the following series: description methods, integrated resources, application
interpreted constructs, application protocols, abstract test suites, implementation methods, and
conformance testing. The series are described in ISO 10303-1. This part of ISO 10303 is a member of the
application interpreted constructs series.
An application interpreted construct (AIC) provides a logical grouping of interpreted constructs that
supports a specific functionality for the usage of product data across multiple application contexts. An
interpreted construct is a common interpretation of the integrated resources that supports shared
information requirements among application protocols.
This document specifies the application interpreted construct for the description of the hierarchical
organization of drawings, drawing sheets, and drawing views, together with the administrative information
necessary to manage drawings and drawing sheets, and the information necessary to relate a product to a
drawing.

Part 505:
Application interpreted construct:
Drawing structure and administration
1Scope
This part of ISO 10303 specifies the interpretation of the integrated resources to satisfy requirements for
the definition of the hierarchical structure of drawings and the administration information to manage
drawings and relate a product to the drawing.
The following are within the scope of this part of ISO 10303:
— the structures for representing a drawing that depicts any phase of design;
— the structures for representing individual drawing revisions;
— the hierarchical structure of drawings, drawing sheets, and views of the draughting shape model;
— the administrative data used for the purpose of drawing management;
— the administrative data identifying the product versions being documented by the drawing.
The following are outside the scope of this part of ISO 10303:
— the structures for representing drawings that are not related to a product;
— the exchange of drawing history;
NOTE - Drawing history refers to prior drawing revisions.
— the exchange of data used exclusively for the creation of paper or hard copy versions of the drawing;
EXAMPLE - Printer or plotter data can be pen designations, plot scale, or plot color specifications.
