The IEEE P1872-2015 standard, to which the SIRIUS team contributed, was cited in 2016 in the White House (USA) document "The National Artificial Intelligence Research and Development Strategic Plan" (page 32).
"One example of an AI-relevant standard that has been developed is P1872-2015 (Standard Ontologies for Robotics and Automation), developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). This standard provides a systematic way of representing knowledge and a common set of terms and definitions. These allow for unambiguous knowledge transfer among humans, robots, and other artificial systems, as well as provide a foundational basis for the application of AI technologies to robotics."
