Business To Manufacturing Markup Language (B2MML)
B2MML is an XML implementation of the ANSI/ISA 95 family of standards (ISA- 95), known internationally as IEC/ISO 62264. B2MML consists of a set of XML schemas written using the World Wide Web Consortium's XML Schema language (XSD) that implement the data models in the ISA-95 standard.
Companies interested in following ISA-95 for integration projects may use B2MML to integrate business systems such as ERP and supply chain management systems with manufacturing systems such as control systems and manufacturing execution systems. B2MML is a complete implementation of ISA- 95 as documented in the completeness, compliance and conformance statement, which is part of the B2MML download. Any company may use B2MML royalty free provided credit is given to the WBF.
B2MML v03 is the latest version. Version 1 and Version 2 are also available, however we recommend new users to use the latest version, which contains enhancements based upon user feedback.
For more information on B2MML refer to the on-line documentation page and the documents contained in the download. The schemas and documents are organized around the ISA-95 data models with an extra document for the common schema, which includes complex and simple types used in the other schemas.
