scope:

This International Standard provides a model and framework for integrating different standards as wellas systems based on those specifications by supporting the use case specific identification andconsistent, formal representation including constraints of necessary components and theirrelationships. It facilitates analysis and improvement of specifications under revision as well as thedesign of new projects. The approach is future proof due to its scientific soundness, based on systemstheory, knowledge representation and knowledge management via ontology development andharmonization, that way supporting advanced interoperability between dynamic, multi-domain systemsthrough knowledge and skills sharing in the context of intelligent cooperation. The approach issuccessfully deployed in several standards such as ISO 22600, ISO 21298, ISO 13606, ISO 12967,ISO 13940 and ISO 13972 (both under way), but also in most of the HL7 security specifications. Theintended International Standard adopts objectives, content and presentation style used in otherfoundational standards such as ISO/IEC 10746, this way qualifying for a potential ISO/IEC 10746-6.
