PI-Fan
In order to show or learn how the PI-Class® method works in practice you can download and use our PI-Fan use case. It comprises content modules together with the associated classifications. It demonstrates the use of the method on the basis of fictional ventilation fans covering 18 different product variants.
The PI-Fan data can be used to demonstrate the consistent use of classified content not only in content management systems but also in content delivery and other systems.
As a systems provider, you can use the included classification matrices to show users how they can leverage the functionality of your system with classified content.
If you would like to implement PI-Class® in your system and register your implementation with the I4ICM Steinbeis Center, you need to apply the logical concept of intrinsic and extrinsic classifications and the variant management as shown in the PI-Fan use case.
The PI-Fan data can be freely used within the terms of the MIT license.
The PI-Fan and the corresponding content of its 18 variants is now included in numerous CMS implementations of leading vendors. It is used as a show case and a reference model of system functionalities.
PI-Class® is also the basis for the implementation of metadata concepts wihin the development of the tekom-iiRDS standard. The PI-Fan serves as a first show case and as a reference model for concepts of informaton interchange and "Industry 4.0" concepts.
