1.4 Audience, Purpose and Scope

This guide is intended for both business/domain people who use data and applications, and for information technology (IT) professionals—software engineers, data managers and developers—who want to implement PRODML into software.

This guide describes how the objects have been designed and are intended to be used. Use of XML means the standards can be implemented on many platforms and in many programming languages, so no specifics on implementation are given.

Chapter 2 Technology Overview of PRODML gives a technical overview of PRODML, and subsequent chapters go through each sub-domain.
