Research on Technological Hotspots and Trends of Digitalization of Standard Based on Keyword Co-occurrence Atlas

Abstract With the continuous advancement of the process of industrial digitalization, standards, as one of the elements of industrial development, will be closely intertwined with digitalization, have a profound impact on technology, industry and society, and jointly promote the development of sustainable ecology. Based on the Technology Breakdown Theory and CiteSpace tools, this study collected the literature data of journal papers and standards related to digitalization of standard published from 2017 to 2021, and made a keyword co-occurrence atlas analysis on five key technical topics related to digitalization of standard, semantic web, digital model, open source and virtual reality enhancement. It identifies new technological hotspots in standard content generation, standardization modes, and applications of standards. New trends in evolution of the standard itself, the development of the standardization ecosystem, and governance in the context of the new technologies are summarized, including structuring, semanticization and machine language representation of the content; open source technologies make standards more open, shareable, and intelligent; digital technologies brings new governance challenges in the field of standardization. This study systematically compiles and prospects the technological hotspots and trends of digitalization of standard, and supports the formation of related technical routes and risk response plans by data analysis.
