Abstract:
International safety standards define and regularize many aspects of product safety during manufacturing processes. However, principles in international standards contain many homographic keywords or words with similar but slightly different meanings, which can cause ambiguity. We propose a method to quantify the differences in the meanings of keywords. We focus on the different meanings of definition statements, different dependency relationship structures, and different tendencies of the dependency relationships.
