This document describes the results of the project group based on:

It has to be seen as a starting point to specify methods, scenarios, applications and process modules for the aircraft industry which support long-term archiving as well as re-use (readability first, furthermore ability for further processing) of product data including 3D geometry.

Since communication processes with suppliers, partners or customers manage archiving-relevant information, scenarios and resulting descriptions of processes are to be developed in a way to be applicable also for these communication processes (data exchange and data integration). The results of the specification shall be submitted first as AECMA standard.
