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 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).
