ISO/TC184/SC5/WG4 (Manufacturing Software and Its Environment) is working on ISO16100 : Manufacturing software capability profiling for interoperability. This paper reports on a manufacturing software interoperability framework and a capability profiling methodology which were proposed and developed through this international standardization activity. A software interoperability framework consists of a set of elements and rules for describing the capability of software units to support the requirements of a manufacturing application. The Capability profiling methodology shall make use of the domain-specific attributes and methods associated with each specific software unit to describe capability profiles in terms of unit name, manufacturing functions, and other needed class properties.
