Re-engineering the ISO 15926 Data Model: A Multi-level Metamodel Perspective
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ISO 15926 standard was developed to facilitate the integration of life-cycle data of process plants. The core of the standard is a highly generic and extensible data model. However the data model is replete with confusing terminology, circular definitions and inconsistencies that make the standard difficult to understand and less likely to be adopted in practice. In this paper we look at re-engineering the ISO 15926 data model as a multilevel metamodel, and aim to (re-)formalise critical aspects of the data model which we believe simplifies the model and eases the adoption process.

Against Idiosyncrasy in Ontology Development
The world of ontology development is full of mysteries. Recently, ISO Standard 15926 (“Lifecycle Integration of Process Plant Data Including Oil and Gas Production Facilities”), a data model initially designed to support the integration and handover of large engineering artefacts, has been proposed by its principal custodian for general use as an upper level ontology. As we shall discover, ISO ...
متن کاملAn upper ontology based on ISO 15926
Ontologies reflect our view of what exists and developing ontologies for a given domain requires a common context. This context can be characterized explicitly by means of an upper ontology. Upper ontologies define top-level concepts such as physical objects, activities, mereological and topological relations from which more specific classes and relations can be defined. As an effort to support...
متن کاملModelling Geometric Objects with ISO 15926: Three Proposals with a Comparative Analysis
In the field of Oil & Gas, the ISO15926 proposes a standard for integration, sharing, exchange and delivery of data between computer systems based on the standardization of data formats and an ontology approach to represent common industry classes and relations. Due to the structure and the large number of terms defined at this standard, the complexity of creation information models is high. Th...
متن کاملA Semantic Transformation Approach for ISO 15926
Traditional industries anticipate supporting cross-organizational cooperation as applied in the semantic Web and Web services environments. However, the international standards used in organisations are often developed prior to or independent from the novel technologies. We demonstrate a solution, namely to perform controlled semantic transformations enabling both technologies. A study in the s...
متن کاملApplied Semantics for Integration and Analytics
There are two major trends of industrial application for semantic technologies: integration and analytics. The integration potential of semantics was the first one which came to industrial implementation, particularly due to adoption of semantic platform by ISO 15926 standard. But there are certain problems in practical use of this standard, so integration is often built without using it. We wi...
