This document describes the framework and the vocabulary that are used for the development of entries in the Smart Manufacturing Standards Map Catalogue. These enable the mapping and linking of standards and standard projects related to various aspects of smart manufacturing (product, production, supply chain, industrial services ...).

The framework applies to international standards, de facto standards and consortium specifications; publications or projects; thereafter named "standards".

The framework part (Clauses 4) briefly describes the principle of structuring the standards catalogue and its use for analysing the standards landscape.

The vocabulary part (Clauses 5 to 13) specifies the characteristics that are used for the classification of standards.
