ISO 22745-11:2010

Industrial automation systems and integration - Open technical dictionaries and their application to master data - Part 11: Guidelines for the formulation of terminology

ISO 22745-11:2010 provides guidelines that are recommended for the development of terminology for concepts in an open technical dictionary (OTD). Compliance with these guidelines is not required in order for a term or definition to be included in an OTD. These guidelines are provided as a framework for developers of industrial terminology to ensure that definitions are consistent and understandable. Terminology that complies with these guidelines will be marked as such in the OTD. This will allow a user to perform a search that filters terminology based on compliance with ISO 22745-11:2010.

Overview

ISO 22745-11:2010 provides recommended guidelines for the development and formulation of terminology used in an Open Technical Dictionary (OTD). The standard offers a framework to help terminology developers produce clear, consistent and understandable definitions for concepts used in industrial automation and master data. Compliance with these guidelines is not mandatory for inclusion in an OTD; however, terminology that follows ISO 22745-11:2010 can be identified and filtered within the OTD catalogue.

This part of the ISO 22745 series is the first edition that replaces ISO/TS 22745-11:2009 and is aimed at promoting consistent terminology practices across organizations working with master data and industrial automation systems.

Key Topics

• Purpose and scope: Framework and recommendations for formulating terminology entries intended for use in Open Technical Dictionaries.
• Clarity and consistency: Emphasis on producing definitions that are understandable to users and interoperable across systems.
• Marking compliance: Terminology that complies with the guidelines is flagged in the OTD, enabling search filters based on compliance status.
• Developer guidance: Practical direction for authors and custodians of terminology to align entries with a common structure and intent.

Keywords: ISO 22745-11:2010, Open Technical Dictionary, OTD, terminology guidelines, master data, industrial automation, definition consistency.

Applications

ISO 22745-11:2010 is relevant to organizations and professionals involved in:

• Master data governance and management where consistent concept definitions reduce ambiguity.
• Development and maintenance of Open Technical Dictionaries used by engineering, procurement, and asset management systems.
• Cross-system integration and data interchange in industrial automation, where shared terminology supports interoperability.
• Search and discovery of technical terms within an OTD by allowing users to filter for entries that comply with the standard.

Practical benefits include improved data quality, clearer communication across teams and systems, and easier reuse of terminology in catalogues and master data repositories.

Related Standards

• ISO 22745 series (other parts of the series address OTD structures and application to master data).
• ISO/TS 22745-11:2009 (this edition cancels and replaces the Technical Specification).

For implementers and information managers, ISO 22745-11:2010 serves as a guidance tool to enhance the usability and reliability of terminology within Open Technical Dictionaries, supporting better master data outcomes and system interoperability.
