NOTE 1 The schemas referenced above are specified in the following part of ISO 10303:
state_type_schema ISO 10303-56 support_resource_schema ISO 10303-41
NOTE 2 See Annex D for a graphical representation of this schema.
A state_observed entity represents the existence of recognisable characteristics for a period of time. The period of time may historical, current, or predicted. The characteristics that describe an observed state may be recorded in the description attribute of the state_observed entity, or by reference to relevant state_types using the ascribable_state entity.
Over time, a given observed state may be associated with multiple state types. This reflects the diagnosis process where something may be observed or predicted to be in an abnormal state before the precise cause, and hence state_type, is known. A state_type may be assessed initially using the ascribable_state entity. As investigations proceed other, more precise, state_types can be associated as asserted states again using the ascribable_state entity. Other state_types can be asserted as not applying.
An observed state may have occured, may be current, or may be expected to take place in the future.
An item or a set of items may exist in a state. This fact is captured by using the state_observed_assignment entity data type.
NOTE The assignment of state to an item or set of items may be meaningful for some process.
An ascribable_state is a representation of a relationship that relates one instance of the entity state_observed to its state_type and provides an identification and description of their relationship.
NOTE 1 The role of ascribable_state can be defined in the annoted EXPRESS schemas that use or specialize this entity, or by default, in an agreement of common understanding between the partners sharing this information.
NOTE 2 The characteristics that describe an observed state may be recorded by reference to relevant state_type entities using the ascribable_state entity. Relationships between two ascribable_state entities is represented by the ascribable_state_relationship entity (see 5.3.2).
EXAMPLE 1 A laboratory has analyzed a marine distillate fuel and assessed its water content to be "0.5%" by volume. With a water specification maximum limit of "0.3%" the marine distillate fuel is ascribed as "exceeding" the limit.
EXAMPLE 2 A hydrogen atom with its electron in "2s" orbital is "excited".

A state_observed is the existence of a mode of being for a period of time. A state_observed may have already occurred, is currently occurring, or can be predicted to occur.
NOTE 1 The period of existence may be an instant or longer.
NOTE 2 The occurrence of a state_observed may be meaningful for a process, such as a pre-defined task.
NOTE 3 Objects in the same state in one context may be in different states in a different context. An object may be a primitive or a system. The same object may be a primitive in one process and a system in another. Objects may be identical in one process and different in another.
EXAMPLE 1 Main Engine Fuel Pump No. 1 is in the phase of "injection".
EXAMPLE 2 A hydrogen atom can be "excited" or "decayed".
EXAMPLE 3 A particular system of atoms will be at "thermal equilibrium" later but not now, or at a certain temperature.
EXAMPLE 4 After my portable computer displayed a "low-battery" warning, I immediately attached its power supply.
