ISO-15926: Integration of lifecycle data for process plants including oil and gas production facilities
The data model of ISO 15926-2 is generic and highly normalized. Next to this being an advantage (scope changes do not result in data
model changes) it is difficult to implement in a standard manner, because it nearly has the flexibility of a natural language. Therefore
the concept of 'templates', standardized 'sentences' using ISO 15926-2 ‘grammar’ and ISO 15926-4 ‘words’ has been introduced in ISO
15926 Part 7.
ISO 15926-7 specifies implementation methods for integration, sharing, exchange, and hand-over of lifecycle information about process
plants, based on the data model of ISO 15926-2.

Usage Lifecycle data integration and sharing in a federation of data repositories.
Exchange Aggregated references to the reference data library model (held in a repository) in the form of template definitions. These
Content template definitions are used to validate template instances in RDF/XML that contain the data content.
Data Abstract domain approach using a highly abstract core model with domain-specific reference data library information model.

Benefits Increases the cost efficiency of oil and gas facilities.
• Significant cost savings are expected from standardization of component specifications
• Design can be progressed in parallel with other engineering, planning, and logistical activities
• Improved efficiency and effectiveness of the operational phase of the plant
• Allows for statistical analysis resulting in discovery of knowledge
