本规范定义了一种标准XML格式，用于表示基于IP质量测量信息模型的电子设计知识产权（IP）质量信息。它包括一个模式和与测量IP质量相关的术语，包括在系统上执行的软件。模式和信息模型可以集中表示IP用户感兴趣的特定类别。在本文件中，术语IP应指电子设计知识产权。电子设计知识产权（Electronic design intellectual property）是电子设计界使用的一个术语，指的是设计规范的可重用集合，这些规范代表了设计在各种媒体中的行为、属性和/或表现。

This specification defines a standard XML format for representing electronic design intellectual property (IP) quality information, based on an information model for IP quality measurement. It 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 particular categories of interest to IP users. In the context of this document, 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 behavior, properties, and/or representation of the design in various media.
