L'IEC 61360-6:2016 donne des lignes directrices pour la définition des concepts utilisés pour la description des classes et des propriétés, soumise pour mise à jour du contenu du Dictionnaire des données communes de l'IEC (IEC CDD, Common Data Dictionary). Cela inclut: - une compréhension de base des concepts clés et des procédures utilisés dans l'IEC CDD; - une référence obligatoire pour le contrôle qualité des contenus de dictionnaire conformes à l'IEC 61360; - des lignes directrices pour les documents dans lesquels une connaissance approfondie nécessaire peut être acquise.

Tipi standardnih podatkovnih elementov s pripadajočo klasifikacijsko shemo za električne sestavne dele - 6. del: Smernice o kakovosti Slovarja skupnih pojmov IEC (IEC CDD)

Ta del standarda IEC 61360 podaja smernice za opredelitev konceptov, ki se uporabljajo za opis razredov in lastnosti, predloženih za posodobitev vsebine skupnega podatkovnega slovarja IEC (IEC CDD). To vključuje:
– osnovno razumevanje ključnih konceptov in postopkov, ki se uporabljajo v skupnem podatkovnem slovarju IEC;
– zavezujoča referenca za nadzor kakovosti vsebine slovarja v skladu s standardom IEC 61360;
– smernice za uporabo dokumentov, v katerih je mogoče pridobiti potrebno poglobljeno znanje (glej točko 2 in dodatek D).
Ta del standarda IEC 61360 vključuje naslednje dele:
– osnovni pregled temeljnih konceptov standarda IEC 61360;
– oblikovanje definicij in drugih besedilnih elementov;
– pregled postopka vzdrževanja IEC za skupni podatkovni slovar IEC;
– kontrolni seznam za vnose v vsebino skupnega podatkovnega slovarja IEC.
