This trial-use standard is an implementation-independent specification for a software interface to
information systems containing data pertinent to the diagnosis and maintenance of complex systems
consisting of hardware, software, or any combination thereof. These interfaces will support service
definitions for creating application programming interfaces (API) for the access, exchange, and analysis of
historical diagnostic and maintenance information. The trial-use standard will use the information models
of IEEE Std 1232 as a foundation.
