Full title and description

STB BS ISO 23584-1:2009 — Optics and photonics — Specification of reference dictionary — Part 1: General overview on organization and structure. This document establishes the basis and organizational model for a reference dictionary of standardized product properties in the optics and photonics domain and describes how the dictionary content is to be provided in electronic form.

Abstract

ISO 23584-1:2009 provides the principles and overview for preparing a reference dictionary of standardized product properties for optics and photonics. It defines the organization of properties (based on standardized attributes) and the concept of a reference hierarchy (definition classes) to ensure unambiguous property descriptions; it is founded on rules from ISO 13584-42, IEC 61360-1 and ISO/IEC Guide 77‑2.

• Edition / version: Edition 1 (2009).
• Number of pages: 13 pages for the ISO 23584-1:2009 international edition; national/BS adoption copies may have extended front/back matter (example: BSI listing shows 24 pages).

Scope

This part (Part 1) specifies the organizational overview and structure required for a reference dictionary of standardized product properties in optics and photonics, and how that dictionary and its contents are to be provided electronically. It sets out principles for property specification that enable unambiguous classification and exchange of product information across suppliers, databases and software tools. The standard references and builds on ISO 13584‑42, IEC 61360‑1 and ISO/IEC Guide 77‑2.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of a reference dictionary structure for optics and photonics product properties (reference hierarchy and definition classes).
• Rules and principles for specifying standardized product properties and attributes (consistent with ISO 13584‑42 and IEC 61360 series).
• Requirement to provide dictionary content in electronic form and guidance on data organization for exchange.
• Interoperability focus: mapping and alignment with related standards and electronic exchange formats (enables later parts such as ISO 23584‑2 and ISO 25297‑2 to define classes/properties and mappings).
• Use of standardized attribute metadata (administrative data, source/status, units, language variants) to improve unambiguity and reuse.

Typical use and users

Primary users include manufacturers and suppliers of optical and photonic components, database and PLM administrators, systems integrators creating electronic product catalogs, software developers implementing data-exchange tools for optical properties, and standards/committee members maintaining product dictionaries. The standard guides creation of machine-readable, interoperable property dictionaries and underpins mappings used by related exchange standards.

Related standards

Standards commonly referenced with ISO 23584‑1 include: ISO 23584‑2 (Part 2: classes and properties definitions), ISO 25297‑2 (electronic exchange mapping to ISO 23584 classes/properties), ISO 13584‑42 (parts library description methodology), and the IEC 61360 series (definitions and dictionary structure). These documents together form the normative foundation for class/property modelling and electronic exchange in optics and photonics.

Keywords

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 23584‑1:2009 (published as BS ISO 23584‑1:2009 in the UK and listed with STB catalogues in some collections) is Part 1 of a specification for a reference dictionary of standardized product properties for optics and photonics; it provides the general overview, organization and structure for that dictionary.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the organizational model, principles and high‑level rules for defining and delivering a machine‑readable reference dictionary of product properties (definition classes, standardized attributes, and electronic delivery). It does not itself list all property definitions (those appear in Part 2 and related deliverables).

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers of optical components, database/PLM managers, software developers for product catalogs and exchange tools, standards committees and anyone needing consistent, unambiguous property definitions for optics and photonics products.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The international edition ISO 23584‑1:2009 remains published and was reviewed/confirmed in ISO review cycles (confirmed in 2019 according to ISO listings). Users should check national catalogues or ISO for any later revisions; related parts (for example Part 2) were published subsequently (2012).

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 23584 is a multi‑part series. Notable related parts include ISO 23584‑2:2012 (classes and properties definitions). The series is designed to work with ISO 13584‑42 and IEC 61360 family documents for product‑property modelling and electronic exchange.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Key keywords are: reference dictionary, properties, optics, photonics, classes, attributes, data exchange, IEC 61360, ISO 13584.
