Introduction
This part of ISO 13399 defines the terms, properties, and definitions for connection systems of cutting
tools with defined cutting edges. The purpose of this part of ISO 13399 is to provide a reference dictionary
to support the use of the general information model in ISO 13399-1.
A cutting tool with defined cutting edges is used on a machine to remove material from a workpiece by
a shearing action at the cutting edges of the tool. Cutting tool data that can be described by ISO 13399
(all parts) include, but are not limited to, everything between the workpiece and the machine tool.
Information about inserts (e.g. regular and irregular shaped replaceable cutting items), solid tools (e.g.
solid drill and endmill), assembled tools (e.g. boring bars, indexable drills, and indexable milling cutters),
adaptors (e.g. milling arbor and drilling chuck), components (e.g. shims, screws, and clamps), and their
relationships can be represented by ISO 13399 (all parts). Possible assemblies of the components of a
cutting tool are illustrated in Figure 1.
The objective of ISO 13399 (all parts) is to provide the means to represent the information that
describes cutting tools in a computer-sensible form that is independent from any computer system.
The representation will facilitate the processing and exchange of cutting tool data within and
between different software systems and computer platforms and support the application of this data
in manufacturing planning, cutting operations, and the supply of tools. The nature of this description
makes it suitable not only for neutral file exchange, but also as a basis for implementing and sharing
product databases and for archiving. The methods used for these representations are those developed
by ISO/TC 184/SC 4 for the representation of product data by using standardized information models
and reference dictionaries.
An information model is a formal specification of types, ideas, facts, and processes which together
describe a portion of interests of the real world and which provides an explicit set of interpretation
rules. Information is knowledge of ideas, facts, and/or processes. Data are symbols or functions that
represent information for processing purposes. Data are interpreted to extract information by using
rules for how that should be done and a dictionary to define the terms that identify the data items.
Everyone in a communication process is expected to use the same information model, the same set of
explicit rules, and the same dictionary in order to avoid misunderstanding. If an information model and
its dictionary are written in a computer-sensible language, then there is the additional benefit that they
can be computer processable.
An engineering information model is therefore a specification for data that establishes the meaning
of that data in a particular engineering context. A model has to be developed by formal methods to
ensure that it meets the needs of the situation that it represents. An engineering information model
defines the information objects that represent the concepts in an engineering application, the attributes
of the objects, their relationships, and the constraints that add further meaning. An information model
is an abstract concept that can be used repeatedly for any example of the real-world situation that it
represents. An instance of the model is created when it is populated with the data items and their values
that are applicable to a particular example of that situation.
This part of ISO 13399 uses the following International Standards developed by ISO/TC 184/SC 4:
— the EXPRESS language defined in ISO 10303-11 for defining the information model in ISO 13399-1;
— the file format for data exchange derived from the model and defined in ISO 10303-21;
— the data dictionary defined in the ISO 13584 series.
The ISO 13399 series is intended for use by, among others, tool producers and vendors, manufacturers,
and developers of manufacturing software. ISO 13399 provides a common structure for exchanging
data about cutting tools with defined cutting edges. ISO 13399 is intended to provide for, or improve,
several manufacturing activities, including
— the integration and sharing of data for cutting tools and assemblies between different stages for the
manufacturing cycle and between different software applications,

ISO/TS 13399-60:2014(E)

— the direct import of data from cutting tool suppliers into a customer’s database, and
— the management of cutting tool information from multiple sources and for multiple applications.
Different companies use different business models that determine their need for the communication of
information about their products. For example, one cutting tool manufacturer can regrind its customers’
tools while another could allow its customers to do the regrinding and provide the information to enable
them to do so. Therefore, the two cutting tool manufacturers can have a different set of cutting tool
properties to communicate using the information model and dictionaries provided in ISO 13399.
ISO 13399 only defines the information that could be communicated, but does not specify what
information shall be communicated.
Figure 1 — Example of different types of assemblies of items
Since the content of those dictionaries evolves according to industrial innovations and constant
improvement of technology in cutting tools, a Maintenance Agency has been established for the purposes
of
— correcting errors in the entries of existing classes and properties,
— adding new properties to existing classes,
— adding new classes and their properties,
— managing the status of those properties and classes, and
— migrating the dictionary to subsequent editions of ISO 13399 (all parts).

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION ISO/TS 13399-60:2014(E)
Cutting tool data representation and exchange —
Part 60:
Reference dictionary for connection systems
1 Scope
This part of ISO 13399 specifies a reference dictionary for connection systems for cutting tools, together
with their descriptive properties and domains of values.
This part of ISO 13399 specifies a reference dictionary and the structure of interface codes containing:
— definitions and identifications of the classes of connection systems, with an associated classification
scheme;
— definitions and identifications of the data element types that represent the properties of connection
systems;
— definitions and identifications of domains of values for describing the above data element types;
— definitions and structure of the value entry of the properties of interface codes that are already
defined in this International Standard;
— rules for the structure of these properties to be able to communicate between systems.
Each class, property, or domain of values of this application domain constitutes an entry of the reference
dictionary defined in this part of ISO 13399. It is associated with a computer-sensible and human-
readable definition and with a computer-sensible identification. Identification of a dictionary entry
allows unambiguous reference to it from any application that implements the information model defined
in ISO 13399-1.
Definitions and identifications of dictionary entries are defined by means of standard data that consist
of instances of the EXPRESS entity data types defined in the common dictionary schema, resulting from
a joint effort between ISO/TC 184/SC 4 and IEC SC3D, and in its extensions defined in ISO 13584-24 and
ISO 13584-25.
The following are within the scope of this part of ISO 13399:
— standard data that represent the various classes of connection systems for cutting tools;
— standard data that represent the various properties of connection systems for cutting tools;
— standard data that represent domains of values used for properties of connection systems for
cutting tools;
— one implementation method by which the standard data defined in this part of ISO 13399 can be
exchanged.
NOTE 1 The implementation method by which the standard data defined in this part of ISO 13399 can be
exchanged is specified in ISO 10303-21.
The following are outside the scope of this part of ISO 13399:
— specialized or expert knowledge on the design and use of cutting tools;
— rules to determine what information should be communicated;

5 Representation of the ontology concepts as dictionary entries
5.1 General
In 5.2, a concept in the ontology is identified by a name in lowercase characters. The name of a class that
represents the concept in the dictionary is identified by bold, lowercase characters with multiple words
linked by an underscore character.
EXAMPLE “connection interface feature” is the name of a concept in the ontology. connection interface
feature is the identifier of the class in the dictionary that represents the concept.
Each entry in the dictionary, either a class or a property, is identified with a numerical code (BSU) that
is generated at random when the dictionary is compiled. A BSU can be made unique by the addition of a
code that is a reference to the supplier of the dictionary.
The structure of the classification is summarized in Annex B. The complete definitions of the classes in
this part of ISO 13399 are provided in Annex C. The properties applicable to these classes are defined
in Annex D.
5.2 connection interface feature
connection_interface_feature is a generic family of those parts of a tool item or assembly item that
form a coupling to another tool item or assembly item or machine tool. Definitions and further sub-
division of these classes can be found in Annex C.
1)
connection_interface_feature has the following subclasses:
— ABS_System_Komet;

1) The identifications for some of these entities are derived from commercial trade names and company names
that may be protected. Their use in this part of ISO 13399 is justified by their being in common use with no accepted
generic alternatives. This information is given for the convenience of users of this part of ISO 13399 and does not
constitute an endorsement by ISO of these products.
