This report specifies an information model of machine-tool-performance test
s in the EXPRESS [1] language. The information model provides a mechanism f
or describing the properties and results of machine-tool-performance tests.
The objective of the information model is a standardized, computer-interpr
etable representation that allows for efficient archiving and exchange of p
erformance test data throughout the life cycle of the machine. The report a
lso demonstrates the implementation of the information model using three di
fferent implementation methods.
