What is a Data Linked Schematic (aka, Intelligent Schematic)? (initial definition)
The description of the connectivity of items in a network and their graphical representation. This may include:
- the identification and functional characteristics of the items and the network
- linkage or reference to the product data describing the items, the network, and possibly the product of which the network is part
- connection characteristics
- connectivity of the symbols
- enable the correspondence of the schematic and the underlying connectivity to be controlled and exploited
- symbols used to represented the items (with reference to symbol libraries)
