BYL-PLIB: a CAD part library conforming to ISO13584

ISO 13584 (i.e. PLIB) is an international standard for the representation and exchange of CAD part libraries. It aims to provide an application-independent mechanism to enable the sharing of part library information between applications. In the paper, the approach of modeling a part library conforming to ISO 13584 is presented. Also, a prototype named BYL-PLIB whose implementation is in agreement with ISO 13584 is developed to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed approach.
