Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has
been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
In other circumstances, particularly when there is an urgent market requirement for such documents, a
technical committee may decide to publish other types of normative document:
⎯ an ISO Publicly Available Specification (ISO/PAS) represents an agreement between technical experts in
an ISO working group and is accepted for publication if it is approved by more than 50 % of the members
of the parent committee casting a vote;
⎯ an ISO Technical Specification (ISO/TS) represents an agreement between the members of a technical
committee and is accepted for publication if it is approved by 2/3 of the members of the committee casting
a vote.
An ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is reviewed after three years in order to decide whether it will be confirmed for a
further three years, revised to become an International Standard, or withdrawn. If the ISO/PAS or ISO/TS is
confirmed, it is reviewed again after a further three years, at which time it must either be transformed into an
International Standard or be withdrawn.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO/TS 13399-4 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 29, Small tools.
ISO 13399 consists of the following parts, under the general title Cutting tool data representation and
exchange:

ISO/TS 13399-4:2007(E)
Introduction
ISO 13399 provides the means to achieve an electronic representation of cutting tool data by providing the
information structure needed to describe various data about cutting tools and cutting tool assemblies. It is
intended to facilitate the use, manipulation and exchange of cutting tool data within and between
manufacturing, distribution and usage.
This part of ISO 13399 defines the terms, properties and definitions for those portions of a cutting tool that
enable the connection of components of a cutting tool, except the cutting items, and the connection of the tool
to the machine. Adaptive items include, but are not limited to, and chucks and arbors. The purpose of this part
ISO 13399 is to provide a reference dictionary to support the use of the general information model defined in
ISO 13399-1.
A cutting tool with defined cutting edges is used on a machine tool to remove workpiece material through a
shearing action at the cutting edge(s) of the tool. Cutting tool data are characteristics of the cutting tool and its
use that must be known and evaluated in order to make manufacturing decisions and to perform
manufacturing operations.
ISO 13399 includes the data representation of 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 solid endmill), assembled tools (e.g. boring bars, indexable drills and indexable milling cutters),
adaptors (e.g. milling arbor and chucks), components (e.g. shims, screws and clamps) or any combination of
the above can be exchanged.
Possible assemblies of the components of a cutting tool are illustrated in Figure 1.
The cutting tool data described include, but are not limited to, geometrical and dimensional data, identification
and designation data, miscellaneous and spare part data, cutting material data, and component connectivity.
The use of the tool information model established by ISO 13399 will provide increased productivity for the user
in the same way as do the tools. The effective management of tool information will improve the management
of the tools themselves. Use of the tool information model will enable the identification of the “right” tool in
every operation — from tool purchase, through planning, set-up in machine-tools, maintenance and reuse of
the tools — with short lead times and with high reliability and product quality. Tool users will benefit from
improved support from the tool vendors who will be able to provide a standard information product to
accompany the tool products. Computer interfaces for information exchange will be more efficient.
The objective of ISO 13399 is to provide the means to represent the information that describes cutting tools in
a computer-sensible form that is independent of any particular computer system. Such a 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 that are used for
these representations are those developed by ISO TC 184, Industrial automation systems and integration,
SC 4, Industrial data, for the representation of product data by using standardized information models and
reference dictionaries.
An information model is a formal specification of types of ideas, facts and processes which together describe
a portion of interest 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. Everyone in a communication process must 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.

---------------------- Page: 5 ----------------------
ISO/TS 13399-4:2007(E)
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 and 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 produced 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 resources developed by ISO TC 184/SC 4:
a) the EXPRESS language according to ISO 10303-11 for defining the information model;
b) the file format for data exchange derived from the model and defined in ISO 10303-21;
c) the data dictionary defined in ISO 13584.
ISO 13399 is intended for use by manufacturers, tool vendors or producers, and developers of manufacturing
software, among others. It provides a common structure for exchanging data about cutting tools (see Figure 1),
and is intended to allow or improve several capabilities, including
⎯ provision of a common set of definitions for use in describing cutting tools and cutting tool assemblies,
⎯ the integration and sharing of cutting tool and assembly data between software applications,
⎯ direct import of vendor cutting tool data into customer databases or applications, and
⎯ a reduction in the level of effort required for manufacturers to maintain accurate and current cutting tool
information from multiple sources and for multiple applications.
Different companies use different business models to determine their need for the communication of
information about their products. For example, one cutting tool manufacturer could 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 could have a different set of cutting tool properties to
communicate using the information model and dictionaries provided by ISO 13399.
ISO 13399 defines only that information which could be communicated; it does not specify what information
must be communicated.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION ISO/TS 13399-4:2007(E)

Cutting tool data representation and exchange —
Part 4:
Reference dictionary for adaptive items
1 Scope
This part of ISO 13399 specifies a reference dictionary for adaptive items, together with their descriptive
properties and domains of values.
This part of ISO 13399 specifies a reference dictionary that contains
a) definitions and identifications of the classes of adaptive items, with an associated classification scheme,
b) definitions and identifications of the data element types that represent the properties of adaptive items,
c) definitions and identifications of domains of values for describing the above data element types.
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
1)
reference to it from any application that implements the information model defined in ISO 13399-1.
The following is within the scope of this part of ISO 13399:
⎯ standard data that represent the various classes of adaptive items;
⎯ standard data that represent the various properties of adaptive items;
⎯ standard data that represent domains of values used for properties of adaptive items;
⎯ a single implementation method by which the standard data defined in this part ISO 13399 can be
exchanged (see ISO 10303-21).
The following is not within its scope:
⎯ specialized or expert knowledge on the design and use of cutting tools;
⎯ rules used to determine the information that should be communicated;
⎯ applications where these standard data may be stored or referenced;
⎯ implementation methods other that the one defined in this part of ISO 13399 by which the standard data
can be exchanged and referenced;

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 SC 3D, and in its extensions according to ISO 13584-24 and ISO 13584-25.

4 Abbreviated terms
BSU basic semantic unit
DET data element type
5 Representation of the ontology concepts as dictionary entries
The generic family of adaptive items is divided into several simple families and classes determined by their
main function.
NOTE An adaptive item can have one or more than one function.
In the following subclauses, a concept in the ontology is identified by a name in lower-case characters. The
name of a class that represents the concept in the dictionary is identified by bold, lower-case, characters, with
multiple words joined by an underscore character.
EXAMPLE “adaptive item type” is the name of a concept in the ontology. adaptive_item_type is the identifier of the
class in the dictionary that represents the concept.
Some of the definitions of properties that are applicable to adaptive items are defined in terms of a coordinate
axis system. The coordinate system is the same for adaptive items, cutting items and tool items and is defined
in ISO/TS13399-50. The applications of this system to adaptive items are described in this part of ISO 13399.
Each entry in the dictionary, whether 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. Each classified item in the following subclauses is
associated with its definition from the dictionary.
The structure of the classification is summarized in Annex B. The complete definitions of the adaptive item
classes are provided in Annex C. The properties applicable to adaptive items are defined in Annex D.

6 Properties for adaptive item types
The properties that are applicable to items defined in Clause 5 are defined in Annex D, where the association
of a property with a class is also specified. In the compilation of the dictionary, all properties are visible
properties at the root class of the dictionary and are made applicable properties at the class level where they
apply. The names of properties that may be applicable to adaptive item types, with their identification codes
(BSU), are shown in Table 1. The order of the names in the table should be read in rows from left to right.
