For documentation in the area of Failure Mode and Effects analysis, the MSRFMEA.DTD was developed.
Its design is totally database oriented. The data model behind it was directly derived from the data model of an existing tool for FMEA. This data model was generalized to eliminate the tool specifics.
The MSRFMEA.DTD has been used in several projects. An implementation in the IQ-FMEA Tool is available.
