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 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. 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 document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 16100-5 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 184, Automation systems and integration,
Subcommittee SC 5, Architecture, communications and integration frameworks.
ISO 16100 consists of the following parts, under the general title Industrial automation systems and
integration — Manufacturing software capability profiling for interoperability:
⎯ Part 1: Framework
⎯ Part 2: Profiling methodology
⎯ Part 3: Interface services, protocols and capability templates
⎯ Part 4: Conformance test methods, criteria and reports
⎯ Part 5: Methodology for profile matching using multiple capability class structures
The following part is planned:
⎯ Part 6: Interface services and protocols for matching profiles using multiple capability class structures

Introduction
The motivation for this part of ISO 16100 stems from the industrial and economic environment noted by
TC 184/SC 5 in its strategic planning discussions, in particular:
⎯ a growing base of vendor-specific solutions;
⎯ user difficulties in applying standards;
⎯ the need to move to modular sets of system integration tools;
⎯ the recognition that application software and the expertise to apply that software are assets of the
enterprise.
ISO 16100 is an International Standard for the computer-interpretable and human-readable representation of
a software capability profile. Its goal is to provide a method to represent the capability of manufacturing
software relative to its role throughout the life cycle of a manufacturing application, independent of a particular
system architecture or implementation platform. This can lead to reduced production and information
management costs to users and vendors/suppliers of manufacturing applications.
Certain diagrams in this part of ISO 16100 are constructed following unified modeling language (UML)
conventions. Because not all concepts embodied in these diagrams are explained in the text, some familiarity
with UML on the part of the reader is assumed.
Annex A describes the process for generating a manufacturing domain model (MDM) and manufacturing
domain data (MDD).
Annex B gives an example of profile matching using multiple capability classes.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 16100-5:2009(E)

Industrial automation systems and integration — Manufacturing
software capability profiling for interoperability —
Part 5:
Methodology for profile matching using multiple capability
class structures
1 Scope
This part of ISO 16100 specifies the methods and rules for matching existing manufacturing software unit
(MSU) capability profiles and required capability profiles derived from multiple capability class structures. The
methods and rules allow MSUs in manufacturing applications to be evaluated for interoperability and, in some
cases, for interchangeability.
The following are outside the scope of this part of ISO 16100:
⎯ services for creating, registering and accessing the various templates for the reference manufacturing
domain models, the manufacturing domain data and the capability class structures;
⎯ the conformance tables that reference Type 1 services defined and specified in ISO 16100-3;
⎯ additional services needed for managing these templates in a database or equivalent object repository.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 16100-1, ISO 16100-2, ISO 16100-3,
ISO 16100-4 and the following apply.
3.1
capability class
element within the capability profiling method that represents software unit functionality and behaviour with
regard to the software unit's role in a manufacturing activity, as denoted in a capability inheritance structure
and as deployed in a capability aggregation structure
NOTE 1 The role of an MSU changes when used in different manufacturing activities; however, the MSU's
corresponding capability class is positioned uniquely in an inheritance structure, but can assume different positions in an
aggregation structure.
NOTE 2 In this part of ISO 16100, a capability class template is identical to a capability template (see ISO 16100-
2:2003, 6.3, for requirements for capability templates).
NOTE 3 Adapted from ISO 16100-2:2003, 3.3.
3.2
capability class structure template
extensible markup language (XML) schema representing a hierarchy of capability classes
3.3
manufacturing domain data
unified modeling language (UML) class representing information about manufacturing resources,
manufacturing activities, or items exchanged among manufacturing resources within a particular
manufacturing domain
3.4
manufacturing domain data template
eXtensible markup language (XML) schema representing a manufacturing domain data
3.5
manufacturing domain model
particular view of a manufacturing domain, consisting of manufacturing domain data and relationships among
them, corresponding to the domain's applications
3.6
manufacturing domain model template
eXtensible markup language (XML) schema representing a manufacturing domain model
4 Abbreviated terms
CCS Capability Class Structure
CSI Conformance Statement for the Implementation
MDD Manufacturing Domain Data
MDM Manufacturing Domain Model
MES Manufacturing Operations Management
MSU Manufacturing Software Unit

5.1 Profile matching concept
Figure 1 shows the concept of the profile matching using multiple capability class structures.
NOTE 1 The capability class structures of the provided MSUs (left side of figure) are assumed to be based on the
existence of a common capability class inheritance tree.
NOTE 2 The actual process for matching profiles uses the same algorithms that exist for matching XML schemas.
