ISO 22745-13:2010

Overview

ISO 22745-13:2010 is an international standard developed by ISO that focuses on the identification of concepts and terminology within open technical dictionaries (OTDs). As part of the broader ISO 22745 series on industrial automation systems and integration, this specific part-Part 13-establishes clear rules for defining and cataloging concepts, terms, definitions, and images. The standard serves as a specialization of ISO 29002-5, providing detailed guidance to ensure consistent use and interpretation of master data in industrial contexts.

ISO 22745-13:2010 facilitates interoperability and data quality by standardizing how technical information is described and linked within open technical dictionaries, which are widely used in industrial automation and related systems integration projects.

Key Topics

• Concept Identification
  Defines the methodology for uniquely identifying concepts related to industrial automation and integration, ensuring consistency across systems and platforms.

• Terminology Standardization
  Provides rules for selecting, defining, and documenting terms used in open technical dictionaries to avoid ambiguity.

• Use of Definitions and Images
  Specifies best practices for incorporating definitions and visual representations to enhance understanding and usability of technical data.

• Open Technical Dictionaries (OTDs)
  Outlines how OTDs are structured and applied to master data management, enabling effective sharing and reuse of technical information.

• Specialization of ISO 29002-5
  Builds upon the foundational standards for master data, focusing narrowly on the identification and description of terminology relevant to industrial automation.

Applications

• Industrial Automation Systems
  ISO 22745-13:2010 aids manufacturers and integrators in ensuring technical data consistency across automation equipment and control systems.

• Data Integration and Exchange
  Supports seamless integration of data from multiple sources by standardizing terminology and concept identifiers, reducing mismatches and errors.

• Master Data Management (MDM)
  Enhances the quality and reliability of master data used in business and engineering processes by providing a clear framework for defining concepts and terms.

• Technical Documentation and Communication
  Improves clarity and precision in engineering documents, technical catalogs, and online dictionaries by adhering to standardized terminologies.

Related Standards

• ISO 22745 Series
  The full series covers open technical dictionaries and their broader application to master data and system integration in industrial automation contexts.

• ISO 29002-5
  A foundational standard for master data and terminology, which ISO 22745-13:2010 specializes for advanced identification of concepts and terms.

• ISO 8000 (Data Quality)
  Relates to data quality management, complementing ISO 22745-13 to ensure accurate and reliable data use in industrial automation.

• IEC 61360 (Common Data Dictionary)
  Offers a reference model for standard data element types, often used in conjunction with ISO standards for technical dictionaries.

By implementing ISO 22745-13:2010, organizations engaged in industrial automation and systems integration can improve interoperability, reduce data inconsistencies, and enhance communication across technical systems through the standardized identification of concepts and terminology.
