1. We agreed on the following "Blurb" for the Digital Manufacturing Day 
introduction.

Manufacturing digitization is a hot topic. Industry 4.0, 3D Printing and 
even the Internet of Things (IoT) are closely related but what does it 
really mean? This SC4 workshop will look at standards for "wiring up" 
digital manufacturing. How are we going to communicate design 
requirements? What will be expected of the supply chain? How will we 
make 3D data for new advanced machines? How will they enable 
cross-functional sharing. What will be the impact on quality assurance 
and the Production Part Approval Process (PPAP)? ISO TC184/SC4 has been 
developing standards for digital product data for 30 years. They cover 
much of digital manufacturing. While not yet finished, they are 
integrated, fully extensible, widely implemented, and available for you 
to get started today. So consider joining us at the Pier 5 Hotel in 
Baltimore on October 21st. We will give you a quick tutorial, discuss 
industry requirements, show some innovative vendors solutions, and 
introduce you to the 5M's: Model, Machine, Monitor, Measure and Modify.

2. Preparing the new edition of AP238.
We discussed the following data instance diagram showing how to 
reference ISO 13399 definition from a STEP Application Protocol using 
EXPRESS constants. The approach seems quite promising because the 
entities in blue can be defined once in the schema.

3. Getting started on the Mind the Gap and O3 projects.
We discussed the items necessary to get started on the Mind the Gap 
project. GE is preparing CAM data for the engine bracket. STEP Tools and 
Siemens are discussing the implementation of an AP238 translator for NX.

KTH has developed a STEP-NC model for a new test part.
