Document management -- Part 1: Principles and methods

Specifies principles and methods to define metadata for the management of documents associated with objects throughout their life cycle; This cycle generally covers a range from the conceptual idea of a document to its deletion. The established principles and methods are basic for all document management systems. This part is intended as a general basic standard in all application fields and provides the framework applicable for part 2. International Standard 82045 is primarily intended as a resource for the use in computerised systems such as Electronic Document Management Systems (EDMS) or Product Data Management Systems (PDMS) for the management, retrieval, storage and selection and archiving of documents, and as a basis for the exchange of documents.

Dokumentenmanagement -- Teil 1: Prinzipien und Methoden

Gestion de documents -- Partie 1: Principes et méthodes

Spécifie des principes et des méthodes pour définir des métadonnées de gestion des documents techniques et commerciaux associés sur l'ensemble de leur cycle de vie. Ce cycle qui couvre généralement une plage s'étendant de l'idée conceptuelle d'un document jusqu'à sa destruction. Les principes et les méthodes mis en oeuvre sont ceux de base pour tous les systèmes de gestion des documents. Cette partie est prévue pour être une norme générale de base dans tous les domaines d'application et sert de cadre applicable à la partie 2. La Norme internationale 82045 est essentiellement prévue pour constituer une ressource dans l'emploi des systèmes informatisés tels que les systèmes electroniques de gestion des documents (EDMS) ou les systèmes de gestion des données de produits (PDMS) pour la gestion, le repérage, le stockage et la sélection et l'archivage des documents et également comme une base pour l'échange des documents.

DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT –
Part 1: Principles and methods
FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation is
entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may
participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the
two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National
Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 82045-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 3B: Documentation,
of IEC technical committee 3: Information structures, documentation and graphical symbols, in
co-operation with ISO subcommittees SC 1: Basic conventions, SC 8: Construction
documentation, of ISO technical committee 10: Technical product documentation.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
3B/327/FDIS 3B/343/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this part of this standard can be found in the
reports on voting indicated in the above table.
Annexes A and B are for information only.
In order to collect all requirements concerning the metadata on documents within one
numerical series, ISO technical committee 10 and subcommittee 3B of IEC technical
committee 3 agreed to publish all parts of this International Standard within the 82045 series.

INTRODUCTION
During the last decades, industry has undergone a thorough transition from manual practice
to computer support for the creation and exchange of information. However, the manual
practices and standards for handling documentation have not undergone a corresponding
process. The situation is that the well-documented manual methods for design co-operation
and co-ordination – a system for process quality assurance common to the industry – is being
replaced by procedures specific to projects and companies. The result is that, although every
single actor strives to assure the quality of his own products and services, the process may
fail in achieving overall product and process quality. The information, interfaces and
networking become industry key factors.
On the other hand, electronic document management technologies are well-suited to handle
large amounts of documents occurring in engineering, manufacturing, operation and
maintenance processes, together with the connected metadata. Cost reductions and quality
improvements are immediate incentives.
The potential benefits include
– efficient search and retrieval of specific documents;
– quick and direct propagation of changes;
– automatic workflow procedures;
– providing document collections about related information;
– reduced administration through integration of document production and management;
– retrieval of knowledge from previous projects and common industry sources;
– supporting the exchange and sharing of data;
– supporting collaborative engineering.
As document management by nature is an instrument for the exchange of information, the
need for standardisation is evident.
ISO TC 10 and IEC SC 3B have identified metadata for technical documents as being a field
where all industry disciplines immediately will benefit from standardisation, and where no
standards are available.
The Technical Management Board of ISO and the Committee of Action of IEC have decided
that, for each part of this series, one organization shall be responsible. The technical
committees involved have agreed not to change any part of International Standard 82045
without mutual agreement.
This standard defines the document concept covering not only traditional paper-based
documents, but also, more generally, computer-based information that is identified,
structured, processed, controlled and interchanged/communicated as a unit (a closed
container of information). It deals with fixed sets of information with associated metadata and
with multiple presentations of these sets of information.

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------

82045-1 © IEC:2001 – 11 –
It introduces the concept of maturity in document management systems, allowing a purpose-
driven approach for concurrent and collaborative engineering. This standard covers also the
document management systems using sequential engineering.
Management data are data about the content of a document, necessary to manage it in an
Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) or Product Data Management System
(PDMS) or any other relevant system.

DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT –
Part 1: Principles and methods
1 Scope
This part of International Standard 82045 specifies principles and methods to define metadata
for the management of documents associated with objects throughout their life cycle; This
cycle generally covers a range from the conceptual idea of a document to its deletion. The
established principles and methods are basic for all document management systems.
This part is intended as a general basic standard in all application fields and provides the
framework applicable for part 2.
International Standard 82045 is primarily intended as a resource for the use in computerised
systems such as Electronic Document Management Systems (EDMS) or Product Data
Management Systems (PDMS) for the management, retrieval, storage and selection and
archiving of documents, and as a basis for the exchange of documents.
NOTE – Part 2 of International Standard 82045 provides the collection of data element types associated with an
information reference model, which may be used in conjunction with the presentation of metadata on documents.
2 Normative references
The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text,
constitute provisions of this International Standard. For dated references, subsequent
amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications do not apply. However, parties to

4 Principles of document management
4.1 General
For the management of documents within their life cycle and for their exchange between
partners, documents shall be associated with a set of metadata, i.e. data identifying and/or
describing the document.
Such metadata may appear
– as visible part of a document presentation;
– in a document file transferred between document management systems;
– be associated to a document in a document management system;
– as a separate set of data managed independently from the document for search and
retrieval purposes.
NOTE In a paper-based environment there is no clear distinction between metadata and content because both
appear in the same object. By introducing an EDMS both aspects should be clearly separated.
4.2 Processes supported by metadata
Metadata provide a separate added value to the document, as they allow to manage, search,
retrieve, etc. within a repository of metadata.
Part 2 of International Standard 82045 provides a list of predefined data element types
supporting a semantically correct description of documents for the purpose of document
exchange and sharing.
Metadata support the following subjects:
– viewing and reproduction process of documents (the presentation aspect);
– identification of documents (the organization aspect);
– workflow and version management of the document (the life cycle aspect) and,
– relations between documents and associated products (the product aspect).
4.3 Document concepts
The document concept covers not only traditional paper-based documents, but also
computer-based information that is handled as a unit (a closed container of information).
This unit is identified, structured, processed, controlled, interchanged and communicated.
Documents in this standard can be a single document, a compound document, an aggregated
document or a document set.

---------------------- Page: 15 ----------------------

82045-1 © IEC:2001 – 23 –
The following list provides some examples:
– text documents, for example textual description or message;
– graphical document, for example drawing, picture, diagram, chart;
– lists, e.g. parts list;
– hypertext documents, for example linked documents built on SGML, XML, HTML;
– multimedia documents, for example composition of text, picture, video, sound;
– electronic information package (Bus message), e.g. query message, automatic log
message;
– CAx models, for example CAE, CAD, CAM, multi-aspect model.
4.3.1 Single document
Each document is associated with metadata, see Figure 1.
NOTE The line between the ellipse and the rectangular box reflects the logical association between the metadata
and the document.

IEC  1736/01
Figure 1 – Document with associated metadata
Example:
Business letter, memo, sketch.
In addition, this standard supports the following more comprehensive structures.
4.3.2 Compound document
A document may result as being composed from more than one type of document,
for example a technical specification document, made up of, for example text files and/or
pictorial representation files. Each file may be produced by different software applications.
See Figure 2. The document resulting does not know its former process of preparation.
For the management of possible links in compound documents, see 4.4.
NOTE The dashed arrows point from the formerly used sources of information.

4.3.3 Document aggregation
A document aggregation is an assembly of self-contained documents; each associated with its
own metadata. The aggregating document has metadata, but not necessarily a separate own
document. See Figure 3.
