(DFARS Clause 252.227-7014) ISO/IEC Standard 12207 uses the term “software life cycle data” to address software documentation. 3.1.9 Conceptual design data. Data such as drawings or 3-Dimensional (3D) digital models, which describe the engineering concepts on which a proposed technology or design approach is based. 3.1.10 Configuration Item (CI). A product or an aggregation of products that accomplishes an end- use function and is deemed important enough to require separate configuration management documentation and control. 3.1.11 Critical manufacturing process.
A process is critical if it is the only known method that will result in the production of an acceptable item. 3.1.12 Data Item Description (DID). A completed document that defines the data required of a contractor. The document specifically defines the data content, format, and intended use. (MIL-STD-963) 3.1.13 Design Activity. An organization that has, or has had, responsibility for the design of an item. 3.1.13.1 Current Design Activity. The design activity currently responsible for the design of an item. This may be the original design activity or a design activity to which the design responsibility has been transferred. 3.1.13.2 Original Design Activity.
The design activity originally responsible for the design and identification of an item whose drawing number and activity identification is shown in the title block of the drawings and associated documents. 3.1.14 Design maturity. The extent to which the final design or configuration of an item has been defined by the engineering process. For example, the design of a sheet metal cover having all holes in its mounting hole pattern fully dimensioned and toleranced for final size, location and orientation would be considered to be more mature than the design of a similar cover having its mounting hole pattern defined as “Drill at assembly". 3.1.15 Detailed design data.
Technical data that describes the physical configuration and performance characteristics of an item or component in sufficient detail to ensure that an item or component produced in accordance with the technical data will be essentially identical to the original item or component. 3.1.16 Detail specification. A specification that specifies design requirements, such as materials to be used, how a requirement is to be achieved, or how an item is to be fabricated or constructed. A specification that contains both performance and detailed requirements is still considered a detail specification.
Both defense specifications and program-unique specifications may be designated as a detail specification. (MIL-STD-961) 3.1.17 Developmental design data. Data which describe the physical and functional characteristics of a specific design approach to the extent necessary to permit the analytical 6
