Specifies the modeling language (syntax and semantics) that supports the IDEF0 method for developing graphical representations of a system or subject area.

The body of the standard describes the modeling language (syntax and semantics) that supports the IDEF0 method for developing graphical representations of a system or subject area. The clauses that follow govern the physical construction of IDEF0 models that represent functions, functional relationships, and the physical and data objects required by those relationships.

This part of the document is divided into 10 clauses. Clause1 provides an overview of this part of the standard. Clause2 defines key terms. Clause3 discusses the concept of an IDEF0 model. Clause4 defines the syntax of the IDEF0 language. Clause5 defines the semantics of the language. Clause6 describes the different types of IDEF0 diagrams. Clause7 presents the different types of IDEF0 model pages. Clause8 provides details on the various features of an IDEF0 diagram. Clause9 defines IDEF0 reference expressions. Finally, Clause10 defines IDEF0 diagram feature references.
