Master Index

Overview

An index of all raw material, parts, and assemblies in the Fabrication Diagram method of collaborative production.

The term "master index" has been used for years, although no central index is known.

Proposal (February 2015)

A central database is proposed in accordance with Naming and Identification.

The current proposal consists of a simple spreadsheet with three tabs:

• Module Index: List of all modules with unique, unchangeable moduleID. Provides lookup for the other lists.
• Version Index: List of all versions with meta info such as date, person, description. (Similar to git commits.)
• Dependency Index: List all dependencies of the dependency tree (see below)
