Full title and description

STB BS ISO 23584-2:2012 — Optics and photonics — Specification of reference dictionary — Part 2: Classes' and properties' definitions. This is the British-adopted version of the ISO standard that defines a structured, machine-readable reference dictionary of standardized product properties for optics and photonics, describing classes (definition classes) and the properties associated with them.

Abstract

Specifies a reference dictionary of standardized product properties for the area of optics and photonics. Properties are defined using standardized attributes and organised into definition classes to form a clear reference hierarchy. The standard is prepared on the basis of rules from ISO 13584-42, ISO/IEC Guide 77-2 and IEC 61360-1 to ensure unambiguous property definitions suitable for electronic exchange and product specification.

Scope

Defines the structure and content of a reference dictionary for optics and photonics product properties: how classes and properties are named, attributed and organized so they can be used consistently for product specification, cataloguing, data exchange and interoperability between suppliers, purchasers and software systems. The standard covers rules for property definition, hierarchical class organisation and the attribute sets required for unambiguous electronic representation.

Key topics and requirements

• Specification of a reference dictionary of standardized product properties for optics and photonics.
• Definition classes and property definitions forming a standardized reference hierarchy.
• Use of standardized attributes and metadata for each property to ensure unambiguous meaning and machine-readability.
• Conformance to rules and models from ISO 13584-42, ISO/IEC Guide 77-2 and IEC 61360-1 for property and data modelling.
• Intended support for electronic exchange, product catalogs, and database implementations for optics/photonics components.

Typical use and users

Used by optical and photonics manufacturers, component suppliers, catalogue and data managers, systems integrators, software vendors (PIM/CAD/BOM/ERP), standards bodies and research organisations to create consistent product descriptions, enable interchange of product data and support procurement and engineering workflows.

Related standards

ISO 23584-1:2009 (Part 1 — general overview on organisation and structure) — the companion part that provides the organisational framework for the reference dictionary. Referential modelling standards used by ISO 23584-2 include ISO 13584-42 (PLIB/IEC naming rules), IEC 61360-1 (component data dictionary concepts) and ISO/IEC Guide 77-2. These referenced standards define modelling rules and attribute sets that 23584-2 follows.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: STB BS ISO 23584-2:2012 is the British-adopted edition of ISO 23584-2:2012 — an international standard that specifies a reference dictionary of standardized product properties for the optics and photonics domain, focusing on classes and property definitions.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the formal structure and content of a properties dictionary: how to define classes (definition classes), how to define properties and attributes for each property, and the rules necessary to make these definitions unambiguous and suitable for electronic exchange and cataloguing. It relies on modelling rules from ISO 13584-42, IEC 61360-1 and ISO/IEC Guide 77-2.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Product manufacturers and suppliers in optics and photonics, catalogue/data managers, software vendors (for PIM/CAD/ERP integration), procurement and engineering teams, and standards committees that maintain product dictionaries and interoperability profiles.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The ISO edition was published in 2012 and was reviewed/confirmed by ISO in subsequent systematic reviews (ISO indicates the edition remains current as reviewed). National adoptions (BS ISO) are published as national documents and may have their own review status; check the national catalogue for the latest national review or withdrawal information.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 2 of the ISO 23584 series. Part 1 (ISO 23584-1:2009) provides the general overview and organisation for the reference dictionary. Organisations implementing the dictionary should consider both parts together.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: optics; photonics; reference dictionary; product properties; property definitions; classification; data dictionary; ISO 23584; IEC 61360.
