Welcome to the Website of the
Dimensional Metrology Standards Consortium
The mission of Dimensional Metrology Standards Consortium
(DMSC, Inc.) is to identify urgently needed standards in the field of
dimensional metrology, and to promote, foster, and encourage the development and
interoperability of these standards,
along with related and supporting standards that will benefit the industry as a
whole. The Dimensional Measuring
Interface Standard (DMIS) is one
such standard that the consortium
has the responsibility to develop, maintain and support as well as to coordinate
and harmonize with other related standards efforts. The DMSC is an ANSI Accredited Standards Developing Organization, as well as an A-Liaison to ISO. The consortium invites participation within the
consortium of other standards groups and activities that seek to resolve the
technology and other issues of automated dimensional metrology. (Read more) |

Meeting Announcement
Dimensional Metrology
Standards Consortium (DMSC)
Subject: DMSC Membership and Technical Committee meetings, to
be held during IMTS 2010.
The manufacturing community who are interested in
standards for dimensional metrology and how the DMSC’s new organizational
structure is focused to comprehensively address dimensional metrology
interoperability needs, are invited to attend the meetings of the DMSC (Booth
E-5061) and its new technical committees, during IMTS 2010. (If you are unable to see the week's "meeting-at-a-glance" on your browser, you may download the entire document by clicking here. )
All meetings will be held 13-17 September in Meeting room E267, located in the McCormick Place Lakeside Building. This will be the very first meeting of these newly formed thrust areas under the DMSC, Inc.. Note: For those who typically attend the DMIS Standards Committee (DSC), the Measurement Execution Program (MEP) Working Group (WG) and the Quality Measurement Standards (QMS) committee will be taking on many of the DSC's topics and responsibilities for these meetings.
The schedule-at-a-glance is given below:
The groups are described below, along with the proposed agenda for each meeting. All meetings are in room E267, McCormick Place Lakeside Building.

3. Review Committee charter
4 Technical work if time allows:
- work on data model
- issue: coordinating QIF (Quality Information Framework) effort with STEP community; e.g., including measurement feature definitions (whether to put them under integrated resource of STEP, or STEP AP).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Quality Information Framework (QIF) Working Group meeting -- Room E267, Tuesday, 14 September 2-5:00 pm
Description of the QIF: The QIF scope includes Quality measurement results, and the information needed to generate those results, which are common to two or more interfaces in the CAQ system. The QIF working group will work organically with all the other working groups under the QMS Committee, so that many of the members of the various working groups are expected to participate in the QIF WG.
Meeting Agenda:
1. Form initial membership list
2. Elect officers
3. Review Committee Charter
4. Technical work if time allows:
- work on data model
- how to validate feature and tolerance definitions in QIF data model
- naming , completeness of data model
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Quality Control Directives (QCD) Working Group meeting -- Room E267, Wednesday, 15 September 9-10:00 am
Description of QCD: In scope are all quality measurement directives from the Enterprise through CAD, PLM, MES, ERP, SCM, and QMS systems or software. Initial focus will be product design(e.g., nominals & tolerances) or Computer-Aided Design (CAD) information, whether standard, quasi-proprietary, and proprietary, which are intended to be used downstream for planning and execution various measurements to ensure product quality.
Meeting Agenda:
1. Form initial membership list
2. Elect officers.
3. Review WG Charter
4. Technical work if time allows
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Quality Measurement On-Machine (QMO) Working Group meeting -- Room E267
Wednesday, 15 September 10-11:00 am
Description of QMO: The QMO WG will work withing active standards groups who are developing in-machine (e.g., on-machine) quality measurement. For example, the ISO STEP AP238 (STEP NC) is currently such an effort. The QMO WG will work within these groups to ensure harmony with other working group content, particularly the QMP (Quality Measurement Plans) and QMR (Quality Measurement Results) Working Groups.
Meeting Agenda:
1. From initial membership list
2. Elect officers
3. Review WG Charter
4. Technical work if time allows
- harmonization with PMI 2.0 (new ISO 1101-2 GD&T standard)

Quality Measurement Plans (QMP) Working Group meeting - Room E267; Wednesday, 15 September 2-5:00 pm
Description of QMP: The scope is all information required to generate part measurement programs on any quality measurement device. The initial specification will provide a foundation for future expansive work in the area and will target support for the following information in the first release: non-dimensional part information; e.g., temperature, reflectance, and malleability, dimensional part information; e.g., geometric features, measurement features, dimensions, and tolerances, part characteristics, nominals and tolerances, CAD Entity Relationships, quality plan information, measurement rules, work instructions.
Draft Meeting Agenda:
1. Form initial membership list
2. Elect officers
3. Review WG charter
4. Technical work if time allows
- work on data model
- issue: how much traceability information should be included
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Quality Measurement Results (QMR) Working Group Meeting -- Room E267; Thursday, 16 September 9-11:00 am
Description of QMR: Scope will consist of quality measurements of dimensional and non-dimensional entities. The actual measurement values will be both numerical and non-numerical (attribute or binary). Measurement results will not only include raw measurement values, but also summary statistical or derived results (e.g., cylinder radius with standard deviation). Measurement results will also include description of the algorithmic means (e.g., least squares) by which the derived results are calculated. All necessary nominal (as designed) target values will also be included to allow re-analysis if required. Any other information relevant to one or more measurements will also be in scope, information such as the shift, the equipment operator's name, the ID and feature of the item measure, the date & time of the measurement, etc.
Meeting Agenda:
1. Form initial membership list
2. Elect officers
3. Review WG Charter
4. Technical work if time allows
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Measurement Execution Programs (MEP) Working Group --Room E267; Thursday, 16 September 2-5:00 pm
Description of MEP: In scope is all information necessary to precisely and completely specify the measurement of some item with a particular measurement device or system. The item measured may be any quality-related characteristic, either dimensional or non-dimensional and generating a variable, attribute, or binary value. In the case of geometrical measurements, such a process plan will specify precise points and paths, and particular measurement devices and sensors. Sometimes this process plan has been called "a low-level measurement process plan," or alternatively a "part program." The methods and algorithms used to computer abstract geometric elements (e.g., radius) from measured points may be specified in the detailed plan. the MEP WG will also be responsible for maintaining the ANSI and ISO DMIS Standard.
Meeting Agenda:
1. Form initial membership list
2. Elect officers
3. Review WG Charter
4. Technical work if time allows
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Measurement Resource Information (MRI) Working Group -- Room E267; Friday, 17 September 9-11:00 am
Description of MRI: The scope for the MRI WG is to represent the quality measurement equipment, device, and sensor information necessary to facilities the generation of precise measurement process plan and/or program with the information defined by the QMP/MEP working groups. Since measurement sensor and equipment information is (initially) out-of-scope of the QMP WG, the work of the MRI WG is expected to define measurement sensor and equipment information to be consumed by the Programming activity only.
Meeting Agenda:
1. Form initial membership list
2. Elect officers
3. Review WG Charter
4. Technical work if time allows
