Description / Abstract:
This specification defines a standard XML format for
representing electronic design intellectual property (IP) quality
information, based on an information model for IP quality
measurement. It includes a schema and the terms that are relevant
for measuring IP quality, including the software that executes on
the system. The schema and information model can be focused to
represent particular categories of interest to IP users. In the
context of this document, the term IP shall be used to
mean electronic design intellectual property. Electronic
design intellectual property is a term used in the electronic
design community to refer to a reusable collection of design
specifications that represent the behavior, properties, and/or
representation of the design in various media.
Purpose
The purpose of this standard is to provide a unified view of
quality measures for IP to facilitate the use and integration of
this IP used in electronic system design. This will enable the
continuous improvement of IP used for system design and
verification by providing a mechanism for qualitative comparison
between such IP. The standard IP quality measures and
characteristic exchange format defined can be incorporated into a
variety of electronic design automation (EDA) tools.
