Abstract
Qualifying optical transceivers requires interpreting vendor datasheets together with multiple
independent standards and multi-source agreements (MSAs), including OIF-400ZR,
OpenZR+, OpenROADM, and SFF-8024. Existing retrieval-based approaches can locate
relevant clauses, but they do not reliably resolve applicability, identifier namespaces,
or executable compliance rules across heterogeneous standards. This paper presents a
standards-compilation framework for automated optical transceiver qualification. Normative
documents are compiled into versioned executable artifacts that preserve applicability
conditions, parameter semantics, units, reference points, and provenance. Proprietary
datasheets are converted into structured operating-mode records by a two-pass extractor
bound to a typed schema. A canonical crosswalk then maps vendor terms to normative
concepts and keeps the original units and reference points. Qualification is performed
through deterministic triggering, attribution, and identity-based routing before parameterlevel
evaluation. The framework is evaluated on commercial coherent optical transceiver
datasheets spanning multiple vendors and standards. The two-pass extraction pipeline
improves structured identity preservation and reduces the need for reviewer corrections
compared with a single-pass baseline. Deterministic routing achieves 99.4% routing accuracy
on independently derived reference labels with zero unsafe routing assignments in
the evaluated corpus, outperforming retrieval-based baselines. A productivity evaluation
further estimates an 85% reduction in expert review time for complex datasheets by shifting
manual work from document interpretation to structured evidence review. The proposed
framework provides a reproducible and auditable foundation for standards-aware optical
transceiver qualification to correct governing records.
