IEC 61636-2021 pdf download.Software Interface for Maintenance Information Collection and Analysis (SIMICA).
Software Interface for Maintenance Information Collection and Analysis (SIMICA) is a family of IEEE standards, associated web ontologies (OWL), and extensible markup language (XML) schemas which allow automatic test system (ATS), test result and session information, and maintenance action information to be exchanged in a common format adhering to the OWL and XML standards. The SIMICA family of standards has been developed and is being maintained under the guidance of IEEE Standards Coordinating Committee 20 (SCC20) to serve as a comprehensive environment for integrating test results, test session information, and maintenance action information, while allowing this unit under test (UUT) related data to be interchanged between heterogeneous systems. The SIMICA family of standards is organized as a base Standard (IEEE Std 1636™— this document) and two (2) family component standards:
— Test results and session information (IEEE Std 1636.1™)
— Maintenance action information (IEEE Std 1636.2™)
The SIMICA family ‘dot’ standards and their relationship to this document are depicted in Figure 1.
This document specifcally defnes the common complex types, elements and groups that are utilized by both IEEE Std 1636.1 and IEEE Std 1636.2 OWL ontologies and XML schemas.
1.1 Scope This standard is an implementation-independent specifcation 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 support service defnitions for creating application programming interfaces (API) for the access, exchange, and analysis of historical diagnostic and maintenance information.
1.2 Application
1.2.1 Of this document
This document provides formal specifcations of the information required for the development of shared
maintenance data and the results of testing.
Anticipated users of this standard include the following:
a) System developers
b) System maintainers
c) Test program set (TPS) developers
d) TPS maintainers
e) Automatic test equipment (ATE) system developers
f) ATE systems maintainers
g) Test instrument developers
h) Reliability, maintainability, and diagnostic analytical applications
1.2.2 Of this document’s annexes
This document includes two annexes. Of these two, one is normative (Annex A).
Annex A contains descriptive information about each of the SIMICA common XML schema and OWL ontology elements and types.
Annex B contains the bibliography. This is informative, and thus is provided strictly as information, for both users and maintainers of this document.
1.3 Precedence
In the event of confict between this document and a normatively referenced standard (see Clause 2), the normatively referenced standard, as it applies to the information being produced, shall take precedence.
In the event of confict between this document and another SIMICA family component standard, this document shall take precedence.
1.4 Conventions used in this document
1.4.1 General
All groups, complex types, simple types, and attribute groups are listed in Annex A. Descriptive information for each is provided.
Where there are references to groups, complex types, simple types, and attribute groups within the associated
XML schema or OWL ontology (Simica.xsd and Simica.owl), the convention of [name] at [element] is used to indicate where the user can locate the data within either the Simica.xsd or Simica.owl fles.
Example: The 1636-2018 download at: https:// standards .ieee .org/ downloads indicates the user is to open the Simica.xsd schema at the location provided and fnd Example for the schema defnition.
The namespace prefx “c:” identifes that the type or attribute group associated with this document.
All specifcations for OWL and XML within this document are given in the Courier type font and italicized.IEC 61636 pdf download.
