ISO 8000-120:2016规定了关于由特征数据组成的主数据来源的信息表示和交换的要求，并补充了ISO 8000-110的要求。 ISO 8000-120:2016未规定特征数据的完整模型，也未规定具有来源信息的特征数据的交换格式。 以下内容在ISO 8000-120:2016的范围内: ·数据来源的场景； ·获取和交换数据来源信息的要求； ·数据源信息的数据模型。 以下内容不在ISO 8000-120:2016的范围内: ·交换数据来源信息的格式； ·注册和解析组织标识符和个人标识符的方案； ·不是以属性值表示的特征数据的数据来源； ·配置管理； ·变更控制； ·标识符的语法； ·标识符的解析。 ISO 8000-120:2016中的一些要求可适用于非主数据的数据交换，主数据由以属性值表示的特征数据组成。

ISO 8000-120:2016 specifies requirements for the representation and exchange of information about the provenance of master data that consists of characteristic data, and supplements the requirements of ISO 8000？110. ISO 8000-120:2016 does not specify a complete model for characteristic data, nor does it specify an exchange format for characteristic data with provenance information. The following are within the scope of ISO 8000-120:2016: · scenarios for data provenance; · requirements for capture and exchange of data provenance information; · data model for data provenance information. The following are outside the scope of ISO 8000-120:2016: · exchange format for data provenance information; · scheme for registering and resolving organization identifiers and person identifiers; · provenance of data that are not characteristic data represented as property values; · configuration management; · change control; · syntax of identifiers; · resolution of identifiers. Some of the requirements in ISO 8000-120:2016 can apply to exchange of data that is not master data which consists of characteristic data represented as property values.
