Schedule plus Cost savings of up to 1.5% of capital cost

Reliability plus Productivity benefits of $1-5 million/yr for every $1 billion of assets

Early Lifecycle Benefits Operation & Maintenance Benefits


Asset Information Challenges and Opportunities in the Capital Projects Lifecycle

30% of a project engineer’s workload is searching for information

Business need = Reference Data Libraries

20% of a project engineer’s workload is validating design and deliverables

Business need = Standardized Engineering Business Documents

Mfg. Process Engineers can spend >50% of their time searching for and validating capital equipment & process unit operations information

IT Architecture governance can reduce project cycle times by 5-10%

Increasing Engineering IT interoperability levels can increase Uptime by 3%

Lifecycle asset Information

management is a key differentiator for project success and

operational excellence

Reference Data Library Vision


Business Benefits of improved asset information management for capital projects

Project managers Project cost estimates contain structured and accurate equipment information – improving project cost control.

Investment engineersEquipment data collection and cost estimating are simplified

Project engineers/designersAfter projects are estimated, equipment definitions are sufficient to proceed with equipment specifications

Facility Operation’s Capital Coordinator“As authorized” equipment cost estimate can be compared with “as installed” equipment asset ledgers

ISO15926 - OWL/RDF


Free and Standard

Standards:W3C: XML, XSLT, SPARQL, RDF, OWL

ISO: 15926

Free Software:XSLT (Java 1.4, Sun)

Ontology Reasoner (Pellet 1.3, University of Maryland)

Triple Store and API (Jena 2.3, Hewlett Packard Labs)

XMpLant2ISO15926 converter example (NRX)


Proven Solution

Assembled from freely available, Enterprise Quality components.

Illustrates the use of ISO 15926 as a lingua franca for industry data.

Highlights the value of 15926’s disciplined, ontological approach.

Demonstrates that ISO 15926 can be used for data today.

(not just data modeling or classification)


End Notes

The same solution could be built for different software platforms:

Java (our solution),

Python,

PHP, and

C# are all candidate platforms.

The technology is not difficult to use:

XSLT – solid standard, plenty of documentation and examples.

SPARQL – like SQL for triple-stores, familiar.

The XMpLant to ISO15926 converter:

Not perfect, but a good starting example.

Summary and Conclusions

The work being done by FIATECH through the ADI Project is leveragable by software vendors to address interoperability challenges today

The WIP/RDL processes presented through the ADI session will help fill the gap that exists today in the depth of attributes associated with many classes

NRX is committed to interoperability through the development andrelease of open source programs (eg, XMPlant to ISO15926) plus the use of ISO15926 as the data exchange standard for our software products
