Abstract
Experience with data exchange standards has shown considerable limitations in their integration in commercial tools and their interoperability. The current trend is to use XML as a mean of exchanging data. We present in this paper a new standard approach for querying and exporting data from PLM in XML format using XPath/XQuery languages. An abstraction effort and an adapter implementation were required to make PLM content as usable as XML document. Afterward, the resulting XML content could be directly reused or converted to another format.
