What is BS IEC 62014-5 - Electronic and software Intellectual Property about?
BS IEC 62014-5 defines a standard XML format for representing electronic design intellectual property (IP) quality information, based on an information model for IP quality measurement. BS IEC 62014-5 includes a schema and the terms that are relevant for measuring IP quality, including the software that executes on the system. The schema and information model can be focused to represent categories of interest to IP users.
In the context of BS IEC 62014-5 , the term IP shall be used to mean electronic design intellectual property. Electronic design intellectual property is a term used in the electronic design community to refer to a reusable collection of design specifications that represent the behaviour, properties, and representation of the design in various media.
The goal of BS IEC 62014-5 is to specify a quality standard metric that will account for the variances in designing, verifying and testing the IP, which will result in fair quality assessment, reducing the risk of schedule slip or mask spins due to faulty IP.
