FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61360-5 has been prepared by subcommittee 3D: Data sets for
libraries, of IEC technical committee 3: Information structures, documentation and graphical
symbols

INTRODUCTION
To understand the generic resources used in this part of the IEC 61360 series knowledge of
EXPRESS as defined in ISO 10303-11:1994 is required. Basic knowledge of ISO 13584-
24:2003, and ISO 13584-42:1998 is also required.
The generic resources specified in this document were developed as a joint effort of
ISO Technical Committee 184/Subcommittee 4/Working Group 2 and IEC Subcommittee 3D.
They are intended to be documented both in this part of IEC 61360 and ISO 13584. Both
committees agreed not to change and/or modify the EXPRESS schemas independently of
each other in order to guarantee the harmonization and the reusability of the work from both
committees. Requests for amendments should therefore be sent to both committees. These
requests should be adopted by both committees before modifying the EXPRESS schemas.
This document is fully compatible with ISO 13584 parts 42 and 25.
This document contains those extensions to the common ISO13584_IEC61360_dictionary_
schema (IEC 61360-2) that are generated in order to fulfil user needs.
The following parts are copied from ISO 13584-25 and appear in IEC 61360-5 as follows:

STANDARD DATA ELEMENT TYPES
WITH ASSOCIATED CLASSIFICATION SCHEME
FOR ELECTRIC COMPONENTS –
Part 5: Extensions to the EXPRESS dictionary schema

1 Scope and object
The scope of this part of IEC 61360 is the extension of the common ISO/IEC dictionary
schema for the definition of concepts which are used in IEC 61360-1 but which are not
addressed by the information models specified in IEC 61360-2.
The object of this standard is to provide a formal model for data according to the scope as
given above, and thus to provide, with IEC 61360-2, a means for the computer-sensible
representation and exchange of all data which comply with IEC 61360-1.
The common ISO/IEC dictionary schema as defined in IEC 61360-2 is the common ISO/IEC
dictionary schema based on the intersection of the scopes of the two base standards:
• IEC 61360-1;
• ISO 13584-42.
and facilitates a harmonization of both.
Quotation of a relevant part from the scope and object of IEC 61360-1:
This part of IEC 61360 provides a firm basis for the clear and unambiguous definition of
characteristic properties (data element types) of all elements of electrotechnical systems from
basic components to subassemblies and full systems. Although originally conceived in the
context of providing a basis for the exchange of information on electric/electronic
components, the principles and methods of this standard may be used in areas outside the
original conception such as assemblies of components and electrotechnical systems and
subsystems
Quotation of a relevant part from the introduction of ISO 13584-42:
This part of ISO 13584 provides rules and guidelines for library data suppliers to create
hierarchies of families of parts according to a common methodology intended to enable multi-
supplier consistency. These rules pertain to the following: the method for grouping parts into
families of parts to form a hierarchy; the dictionary elements that describe the families and
properties of parts.
IEC 61360-2 provides a common information model for the work of both committees, thus
allowing for the implementation of dictionary systems dealing with data delivered according to
either of the standards elaborated by both committees.

61360-5  IEC:2004(E) – 7 –
This part of IEC 61360 provides a Library Integrated Information Model (liim) that, with
resources from IEC 61360-2, ISO 13584 and ISO 10303, allows modelling and exchanging
dictionary information compliant with IEC 61360-1.
