Description / Abstract:
This trial-use standard is an implementation-independent
specification for a software interface to information systems
containing data pertinent to the diagnosis and maintenance of
complex systems consisting of hardware, software, or any
combination thereof. These interfaces will support service
definitions for creating application programming interfaces (API)
for the access, exchange, and analysis of historical diagnostic and
maintenance information. The trial-use standard will use the
information models of IEEE Std 1232 as a foundation.
Purpose
The purpose of this standard is to specify a software interface
for access, exchange, and analysis of product diagnostic and
maintenance information. This will address the pervasive need of
organizations to assess the effectiveness of diagnostics for
complex systems throughout the product life cycle. The use of
formal information models will facilitate exchanging historical
maintenance information between information systems and analysis
tools. The models will facilitate creating open system software
architectures for maturing system diagnostics.
