helping to promote the European model.
Working to introduce information services in Germany and elsewhere
helping to anchor the European standardization system in threshold countries and
EU accession and candidate states.
Targeted marketing of our information systems and information services
among customers as a means of increasing their productivity
promoting target group marketing.
Improvement and extension of data services and associated activities
by encouraging follow-up dissemination of data services by users/customers
supporting public relations and information campaigns within network.
Systematic cross-linking of standards information, enabling users to see
the “bigger picture” more quickly
supporting standards development at system level.

• Standards information (reference information, bibliographic data) is
structural information between standards and metainformation relating to
standards
publisher, document number, issue date, title
- Depiction and indexing of interdependencies (e.g. supersedures and amendments,
references, inclusion in other bodies of
rules) and content structures (e.g.
classification systems) of standards
collections both as individual entities and in
their interaction with others
• Standards content is information in standards
and is an integral part of the document
 Standards information provides a reliable, consistent and
homogeneous status report of a standards collection at any time

• Standards information has two main functions:
- Immediate identification of a document, e.g.

Relevance of standards information for business is often underrated
business data (e.g. customer, supplier, quality or
material data)
• Different standards must/should be used in various
sub-processes
• Standards help sub-process managers
exploit cost-cutting potential

 Standards information is the basis of organized standards management:
• Monitoring of new, amended and withdrawn documents
• Making these available to process partners
• Process-oriented application of standards documents
 Only an organized standards management ensures that ...
• sub-process managers are held accountable.
• certification (e.g. acc. to ISO 9001) is successful.
• legal requirements are not overlooked.
• change management works as it should.

Added value for customers
• Consolidation of widely different collections of rules in one database
• Harmonization of data format and content as prerequisite for establishing
relationships
• Higher level of quality than in original source
• Degree of sophistication that would be economically unviable for companies
• Responsible standards users get reliable, traceable results, in keeping with their
required status as unequivocal and legally binding in practical applications
• Companies integrating this system in their business processes can select and
evaluate information directly and systematically and thus reduce costs
Cost of standards information
• Standards information are the basis behind every
professional standards information platform
• Professional information platforms are tailored to
the requirements of a range of target groups to
ensure they are efficiently utilized
• The system is continually optimized to suit
customers‘ changing business processes

The next steps … access to standards content
DIN Software company profile / Dr. Mario Schacht
29
Customers increasingly demand to be directed straight to the
standards content they need
• Based on a “controlled comprehensive vocabulary”
the content of a document can be identified
• The vocabulary is assigned in accordance with the
documentation rules of the DITR database
• Access is to complete standards and interdependencies
Step 2 - for DIN Standards in the DITR database
• Based on a “controlled document-related vocabulary”
taken from the table of contents of a document there
follows a more detailed indexing of data
• Additional descriptors increase the probability of finding
specific standards content
Step 3 - projected
• Based on and using a “specialized language corpus”,
the content of the document can be indexed in
greater detail using words differing from - but in the semantic
context of - those present in the document
• Additional contextual descriptors improve the search result
