IEC 61360, with the title "Standard data element types with associated classification scheme", is a series ofstandard documents defining a general purpose vocabulary in terms of a reference dictionary published by theInternational Electrotechnical Commission.
The vocabulary specified in IEC 61360 may be used to defineontologies for use in the field ofelectrotechnology, electronics and related domains.[1]
The IEC 61360 series is structured into different parts:
IEC 61360-1 provides a detailed introduction to the structure of the dictionary and its use.[1] IEC 61360-2 specifies the detailed dictionary data model and IEC 61360-6 stipulates quality criteria for the content of the dictionary.[1]The data model defined in IEC 61360-2 is also published in ISO 13584-42.[2]
The IEC provides a technical dictionary for the use in the electro-technical and electronic domain which is published as IEC 61360-4. This dictionary is calledIEC Common Data Dictionary (IEC CDD) and can be accessed as a web page (https://cdd.iec.ch).
IEC 61360 also defines the base for other product taxonomies likeeCl@ss.
