Dutch standards body, USPI-NL, is in the process of implementing the ISO 15926 standard for integration, sharing, exchange, and hand-over of plant data. Part 7, now implemented in OWL, the W3C’s ‘Ontology Web Language,’ defines implementation methods required to ‘use ISO 15926 to its full extent.’
Berners-Lee
Fluor Corp.’s Onno Paap, implementer of the RDF/OWL version of ISO 15926 told Oil IT Journal that the OWL/RDF mapping got a thumbs-up from none other than the father of the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee. Berners-Lee has been pushing RDF as the key technology behind the Semantic Web (OITJ Vol. 9 N° 1) and considered the ISO 15926 initiative as a benchmark test of the Semantic Web. InfoWeb transforms ‘rules’ from legacy EXPRESS-based models into OWL’s ‘axioms’. Check out the results on www.infowebml.ws.
