Classification: The systematic arrangement in groups or categories according to established criteria.
Ontology: An explicit formal specification of how to represent objects, concepts and other entities that are assumed
to exist in an area of interest e.g. in shipbuilding.
Open standard: Publicly available and implementable standards. By allowing anyone to obtain and implement the
standard, they can increase compatibility between various (e.g. hardware and software) components, since anyone
with the necessary technical know-how and resources can build products that work together.
Standard: An established norm or requirement. It is usually a formal document that establishes uniform engineering
or technical criteria, methods, processes and practices. A standard can be accepted as informal, a so called
de-facto standard, because it is used a lot. A standard can be ‘declared’ to be a norm for different scopes, e.g.
a standard can be a company standard, a national standard, a European standard, an international standard, a
standard for a specific application (e.g. in the electrotechnical industry), etc.
