Full title and description
Industrial automation systems and integration — Industrial manufacturing management data — Part 42: Time Model (ISO 15531-42:2005). This part of ISO 15531 defines a generic, application‑independent time model and related data definitions to support consistent time referencing for events, intervals and sequences in industrial manufacturing management systems.
Abstract
ISO 15531-42:2005 specifies a generic framework for describing topological properties of one‑dimensional domains with a focus on the time domain. It provides a universal, self‑consistent time model that enables software applications to reference instants, intervals and ordered events (past, present and future) and includes EXPRESS language definitions and EXPRESS‑G diagrams for the model.

Scope
Defines the topological properties and the time model for one‑dimension domains used in industrial manufacturing management data. The standard covers conceptual definitions for instants, intervals, ordering, and related attributes, and supplies EXPRESS schemas and EXPRESS‑G diagrams (as per ISO 10303‑11) to enable unambiguous data exchange and software implementation for time‑referenced information.
Key topics and requirements
- Generic framework for topological description of one‑dimensional domains (time focus).
- Formal definitions for time instants, intervals, durations, ordering and relations between temporal entities.
- Specification of EXPRESS entity and attribute definitions and related schemas to support machine‑readable implementations (EXPRESS / EXPRESS‑G).
- Requirements to provide an accurate, application‑neutral time reference for events and sequences (past, present, future).
- Support for interoperability between manufacturing management systems (MES, ERP, PLM) through common temporal semantics.
Typical use and users
Used by systems architects, software developers, data modelers and integrators working on manufacturing execution systems (MES), production planning and scheduling, PLM/PDM, ERP integration, and other industrial automation applications that require precise, unambiguous time referencing of events and processes. Also used by standards committees and anyone implementing EXPRESS-based data exchanges for manufacturing data.
Related standards
ISO 15531‑42 is part of the ISO 15531 series (Industrial manufacturing management data) and references EXPRESS (ISO 10303‑11) for schema representation. Related parts and complementary standards include ISO 15531‑31 (Resource information model), ISO 15531‑32 (Conceptual model for resources usage management data) and ISO 15531‑43 (Manufacturing flow management data), which together provide broader models for resources, usage and flow management in manufacturing data exchange.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: ISO 15531‑42:2005 is the Time Model part of the ISO 15531 series, providing a formal, application‑neutral model and EXPRESS schemas for representing time (instants, intervals and ordering) in industrial manufacturing management data.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers the topological properties of one‑dimension domains with emphasis on time, formal definitions for temporal concepts (instants, intervals, ordering), and EXPRESS/EXPRESS‑G descriptions to enable consistent implementation and exchange of time‑related data.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Software developers, data modelers, systems integrators, MES/ERP/PLM implementers, and standards bodies involved in industrial automation and manufacturing data exchange.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: As published in September 2005 (Edition 1), ISO 15531‑42 has been subject to ISO review cycles and is listed as a published International Standard that has been confirmed in periodic reviews; it is not shown as superseded on the ISO catalogue as of the last systematic review. Users should check the ISO catalogue or national bodies for the most recent confirmation or withdrawal status before procurement or implementation.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: Yes — it is one part of the ISO 15531 series (Industrial manufacturing management data). Relevant companion parts include ISO 15531‑31, ISO 15531‑32 and ISO 15531‑43, among others, which together address resource information, resource usage and manufacturing flow management data.
