This document specifies a reference dictionary for tool items, together with their descriptive properties and domains of values.

This document specifies a reference dictionary containing:

—    definitions and identifications of the classes of tool items and their features, with an associated classification scheme;

—    definitions and identifications of the data element types that represents the properties of tool items and their features;

—    definitions and identifications of domains of values for describing the above-mentioned data element types.

The following are within the scope of this document:

—    standard data that represent the various classes of tool items and tool item features;

—    standard data that represent the various properties of tool items and tool item features;

—    standard data that represent domains of values used for properties of tool items and tool item features;

—    definition of cutting operations;

—    definitions of reference systems for tool items and their properties;

—    one implementation method by which the standard data defined in this document can be exchanged.

NOTE 1    The implementation method by which the standard data defined in this document can be exchanged is specified in ISO 10303-21.

The following are outside the scope of this document:

—    specialized or expert knowledge in the design and use of cutting tools;

—    rules to determine what information should be communicated;

—    applications where these standard data can be stored or referenced;

—    implementation methods other than the one defined in this document by which the standard data can be exchanged and referenced;

—    information model for cutting tools;

—    definitions of classes and properties for cutting items;

—    definitions of classes and properties for adaptive items;

—    definitions of classes and properties for assembly items;

—    definitions of classes and properties for connection systems;

—    definitions of classes and properties for reference systems.

NOTE 2    The information model for cutting tools is defined in ISO 13399-1.

NOTE 3    The definitions of classes and properties for cutting items, adaptive items, and assembly items are provided in ISO/TS 13399-2, ISO/TS 13399-4, and ISO/TS 13399-5, respectively.

NOTE 4    The definitions of classes and properties for connection systems and reference systems are provided in ISO/TS 13399-50.
