<p>Hi Scott,</p>
<p>I am also trying to sort it out. Clearly the end-user is very
reluctant to use any kind of naming scheme which means that any
connection between STEP, MTConnect and QIF will have to be
represented by up to three UUID's.</p>
<p>In principle, this is OK, but trying to manage things by UUID
number is going to be tedious/difficult. <br>
</p>
<p>I note that the Internet made IP addresses manageable by giving
its address numbers equivalent domain names, and by allowing
descriptive text strings to be included in URL's.</p>
<p>Perhaps we need to do the same. Perhaps JSON is a solution.
Perhaps every new UUID needs to be registered with every entity
that is listening.</p>
<p>ST-UUID/MT-UUID/QP-UUID where ST-UUID is the prototype
definition, MT-UUID is the twin instance, and QP-UUID is a
measurement<br>
</p>
<p>And it would be nice to know that ST-UUID is the definition of a
distance dimension (which one?), MT-UUID is a product that has
been machined (which one?), and QP-UUID is a measure of the
dimension (which one?).<br>
