Introduction: What is the Interoperable Manufacturing Community of Practice? (2QRI)
On May 19, 2005, the NIST Manufacturing Interoperability Program Manager hosted a Manufacturing Interoperability Strategy Team (MIST) meeting at NIST (introduction slides here). The objectives of the meeting were to hear from industry, government, and academic participants about what challenges each are confronting in the context of interoperability, so that NIST can better gauge its own strategy in the Manufacturing Interoperability Program, while also giving participants a better idea of what NIST is tackling in this area. (2QRJ)
Mission (2QRK)
- To foster communication between manufacturing practitioners, IT professionals, and researchers (2QRL)
- To develop a prioritization of manufacturing interoperability challenges (2QRM)
- To encourage the sharing of experiences, best practices, and documentation with respect to interoperable manufacturing activities (2QRN)
What's New? (2QRO)
The following comments are a compilation of raw data collected from the MIST meeting participants ("sticky" comment) and then articulated and elaborated upon through discussion and slide presentation ("slide"). The participants' comments and associated slide bullets were grouped under several Manufacturing Interoperability Program projects: supply chain, product, process, operations, enablers, and other. (2T73)
Participants are invited to subscribe to this community of practice, and edit the web pages to better capture your thoughts from the workshop. During this process, NIST will be interpreting the workshop and synthesizing the input into a report. Members of the Interoperable Manufacturing Community of Practice, as well as those of the larger Intelligent Manufacturing Community of Practice (imfg-workshop) are invited to provide ongoing input via the discussion forum described below.

Anyone can create an account on this Wiki and add content. To do so, simply hit the "Create account" link at the top right of this page and follow the directions. When choosing your user id, it is common wiki practice to format it as FirstnameLastname. If you do that, then you automatically get a page created to contain a brief biography. Each time your name is entered on a wiki page, it automatically links to the bio page. (2QRR)
You can learn more about wiki pages, and the formatting rules here. In addition, for those who prefer a more human-to-human mode of learning, there is a Wiki orientation teleconference offered every other Friday from 10:30 - 12:00 EST (first half - orientation, second half - questions on specific tasks. There is a session this Friday, July 22; the agenda will be posted soon. (2TWT)
