IEC 61360-1 Ed. 4.0 b – Standard data element types with associated classification scheme – Part 1: Definitions – Principles and methods

IEC 61360-1:2017 specifies principles for the definition of the properties and associated attributes and explains the methods for representing verbally defined concepts with appropriate data constructs available from IEC 61360-2. It also specifies principles for establishing a hierarchy of classification from a collection of classes, each of which represents a technical concept in the electrotechnical domain or a domain related to electrotechnology. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2009. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
– support of advanced constructs such as
– conditions and constraints,
– blocks,
– cardinality,
– polymorphism,
– generic and restricted enumerations, and
– mapping;
– extended list of data types;
– harmonization with IEC 62656-1;
– support of IEC TS 62720 and of coded units;
– harmonization of semantic and administrative data among the various information objects;
– use of UML for data modelling;
– enhanced definitions and descriptions;
– introduction of examples of higher level constructs such as block, cardinality, or polymorphism as guidance for the user of the IEC 61360 series.
