scope:

This standard defines the form of the data and knowledge needed to support AI-ESTATE. The constructs defined in the body of this standard are available for use by the normative annexes of this standard of AIESTATE, which provide formal data models oriented towards specific approaches to diagnostic reasoning. The constructs defined here are applicable to the domain of equipment test and diagnosis, independent of the reasoning approach.

Purpose

IEEE Std 1232.1-1997 defines information models for knowledge bases that are to be used in the context of test and diagnosis, and from these models, to derive a data interchange format. This standard provides the formal specification of the data and knowledge necessary to perform system test and diagnosis and insures the portability of data and knowledge in AI-ESTATE-conformant systems. This standard specifies the requirements for the machine readable form of the data needed to support all components of the AIESTATE set of standards.
