This document specifies a **reference dictionary** for tool items, together with their descriptive properties and domains of values.

This document specifies a reference dictionary containing:

• definitions and identifications of the classes of tool items and their features, with an associated classification scheme;
• definitions and identifications of the data element types that represents the properties of tool items and their features;
• definitions and identifications of domains of values for describing the above-mentioned data element types.

The following are within the scope of this document:

• standard data that represent the various classes of tool items and tool item features;
• standard data that represent the various properties of tool items and tool item features;
• standard data that represent domains of values used for properties of tool items and tool item features;
• definition of cutting operations;
• definitions of reference systems for tool items and their properties;
• one implementation method by which the standard data defined in this document can be exchanged.

NOTE 1 The implementation method by which the standard data defined in this document can be exchanged is specified in ISO 10303-21.

The following are outside the scope of this document:

• specialized or expert knowledge in the design and use of cutting tools;
• rules to determine what information should be communicated;
• applications where these standard data can be stored or referenced;
• implementation methods other than the one defined in this document by which the standard data can be exchanged and referenced;
• information model for cutting tools;
• definitions of classes and properties for cutting items;
• definitions of classes and properties for adaptive items;
• definitions of classes and properties for assembly items;
• definitions of classes and properties for connection systems;
• definitions of classes and properties for reference systems.

NOTE 2 The information model for cutting tools is defined in ISO 13399-1.

NOTE 3 The definitions of classes and properties for cutting items, adaptive items, and assembly items are provided in ISO/TS 13399-2, ISO/TS 13399-4, and ISO/TS 13399-5, respectively.

NOTE 4 The definitions of classes and properties for connection systems and reference systems are provided in ISO/TS 13399-50.
