Today, intelligent cognitive systems are expected to provide the user at the machine with situation-dependent information in regard to the sequence of actions. The resulting requirements are analyzed in this paper and based on this, an information model is developed which is machine-oriented and computer-processable. With this information model not only the structural and functional aspects of the machine but also the actions of the user are described. By the situational extraction of relevant instructions according to the information model the machine user is supported in his decision making.
