Content of the presentation

• Background
• Reasons
• Proposal
• Acceptance
• Content of the proposal
• Scope
• Introduction
• Requirements for the documentation of
  identification systems
• Identification in different contexts
• Annexes
• Initial discussion items
• Recommendation to TC 100/AGS

3
Reasons

• Listed as Stage 0 work since a number of years
• Some material from other standards
• Irrelevant comments on other standards
• Basic for the operation of information systems
• The ongoing splitting/merging of companies makes
  identification no longer an company internal
  matter

4
Proposal

• The project proposal was circulated as document
  3/810/NP in
• IEC TC 3 and available to approx. 50 other IEC
  TC/SCs
• ISO TC 10 Technical product documentation
• into JTC 1 and ITU via IEC-ISO-ITU MoUMG for
  e-business

5
Acceptance

• IEC TC 3 approved, experts from 5 NCs
• ISO TC 10 Technical product documentation
  approved, but not enough with experts
• The circulation via IEC-ISO-ITU MoUMG for
  e-business resulted in comments and liaison
  statements from ITU and GS1.
• The result is documented in 3/836/RVN
• Project IEC 62507 started with TC 3/PT 39 as
  working group (presently 11 nominated experts).

Scope (initial)
BULLETED TEXT

• This standard specifies basic requirements for
  identification systems for the identification of
  objects (such as products, items, documents,
  database entries, etc.) including requirements
  for the application of identifiers in computer
  sensible form, and requirements for their
  interchange.
• The specification of a physical file formats
  required for such an interchange is not included
  in this standard, nor is possible physical
  marking or labelling for the identification of
  objects dealt with.

7
Content of the standard

• Introduction
• Purpose of identifiers
• Unambiguouity, domain, identification system,
• Referencing and traceability
• Permanence
• Methods for the creation of identification
  numbers
• without significance related to the identified
  object
• with some significance

8
Content of the standard

• Requirements for the documentation of an
  identification system
• Domain
• Kinds of identified objects
• Rules for the construction of identification
  numbers
• Rules for the management over time
• Tools

9
Content of the standard

• Identification within an organizational context
• Types, occurrences, individuals
• Identification within a global context
• Identification within a system/product context
• Identification within a library/catalogue context

10
Content of the standard

• Comments to specific kinds of identifiers
• Identification of documents
• Identification of products
• Identification of packages

11
Annexes?

• Identification versus classification
• Commonly occurring kinds of objects
• Configurable product concepts
• Examples of global domains
• EXPRESS model

12
Initial discussion items

• The Scope Can we really produce a general
  standard or do we need to exclude some
  application areas?
• The original focus was on the needs in document
  and product identification areas.
• Relation to existing, already defined
  identification systems
• The intent is not to invent another one, but to
  lay down general rules for any system (a meta
  standard) applicable to those who need to define
  one.
• Should it refer to/list existing systems?
  Maintenance problems for such a listing? The
  original intent was just to name some as
  examples.

13
Recommendation to TC 100/AGS

• To study coverage and applicability of IEC 62507
• In focusing it to the domain of TC 100 coverage
• For identification of such as
• Audio, video and multimedia systems and equipment
• Local connected devices, terminals, equipment and
  subsystems
• Remote devices, terminals and equipment in
  general
• Multimedia information domain to be managed and
  maintained
