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 16100-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 184, Industrial 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
In addition, the following part is envisaged:
— Part 4: Conformance test methods, criteria and reports

Introduction
The motivation for ISO 16100 stems from the industrial and economic environment, in particular:
a) a growing base of vendor-specific software intensive solutions;
b) increasing user difficulty in applying independently-developed standards;
c) a need to move to modular and interoperable sets of system integration tools;
d) a recognition that application software and the expertise to apply that software are assets of the enterprise.
This part of ISO 16100 is an International Standard for the computer-interpretable and human readable representation
of a capability profile. Its goal is to provide a method to represent the capability of manufacturing application software
relative to its role throughout the life cycle of a manufacturing application, independent of a particular system
architecture or implementation platform.
Certain diagrams in this part of ISO 16100 are constructed following 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.
In this part of the ISO 16100, references to classes (objects) and services use a specific naming convention as
shown in the following examples:
ServiceAccessPoint a service access point object
registerProfile a service primitive for profile registration

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 16100-3:2005(E)

Industrial automation systems and integration — Manufacturing
software capability profiling for interoperability —
Part 3:
Interface services, protocols and capability templates

1 Scope
This part of ISO 16100 specifies requirements for interface services and protocols used to access and edit
capability profiles and associated templates used in the capability profiling method defined in Clause 5 of
ISO 16100-2.
The detailed services for accessing capability profiles and performing the matching process on these profiles
are defined in this part of ISO 16100.
This part of ISO 16100 is applicable only for the interoperability of software units used in the manufacturing
domain. Concerns regarding interchangeability of manufacturing software units are outside the scope of this
standard.
