Description / Abstract:
The aim of this standard is to distinguish categories of
knowledge libraries and to lay the foundation for uniform
structures and content of such knowledge libraries and for
commonality in their usage. By drawing up a number of guidelines, a
guiding principle is provided for new libraries as well as for
upgrading existing libraries. Without these guidelines there is an
undesirable amount of freedom, so that the various libraries may
become too heterogeneous. This would render the comparison, linking
and integrated usage of these libraries very complex, if not
impossible.
- The objective of the standard is to categorize knowledge
libraries and object libraries and to provide recommendations for
the creation of such libraries. Libraries that are compliant with
the guidelines of this standard may be more easily linked to, or
integrated with other libraries.
- The target audience of the standard consists of developers of
knowledge libraries, builders of translation software or interfaces
between knowledge libraries, certifying bodies and builders of
applications who must base their work on the knowledge libraries
laid down.
NOTE1 knowledge libraries are databases or files that contain
modelled knowledge about kinds of things. They are intended to
support business processes concerning any kind of products during
their lifetime, for example to support their design, procurement,
construction, operation or maintenance. There is an increasing
awareness of the high potential value of knowledge libraries and of
the drawbacks of the inconsistencies and lack of interoperability
between different knowledge libraries.
NOTE 2 This standard does not aim to standardize terminology,
but to harmonize and standardize concepts. Thus the use of synonyms
and synonymous phrases and one-to-one translations are allowed or
even recommended, provided that alternative terms denote the same
concepts and reference is made to the corresponding synony mous
terms in this standard.
