This part of ISO 10303 specifies a binding of the Java1) programming language to application data

modelled in EXPRESS, ISO 10303-11 and to the standard data access interface, ISO 10303-22. It also

specifies an import and export mechanism for data according to the clear text encoding of the exchange

structure, ISO 10303-21. A further extension is that SDAI repositories can be created, deleted and

linked while the SDAI session is open. Dynamically linking SDAI repositories through a network like

Internet or Intranet allows accessing and changing of remote data.

In addition to the scope of ISO 10303-22 the scope of this part of ISO 10303 contains:

— creating, deletion and linking of the data repositories during an SDAI session;

— specific support for linking a remote data repository through a network like Internet or Intranet;

— convenience interfaces, classes, fields and methods suitable to this Java programming language

binding;

— implementation mechanisms for the handling of errors as specified in ISO 10303-22;

— import from and export to the clear text encoding of the exchange structure as specified in

ISO 10303-21.
