The Benefits of Interoperability






Increases economic competitiveness
Compresses time to market
Reduces infrastructure vulnerability
Expands markets for companies
Decreases supply chain communication costs
Provides global access for software vendors
“The cost of
inadequate
interoperability in
the U.S. capital
facilities industry:
$15.8 billion per
year.”

The view from FIATECH
“The vision of the future is of a highly automated and seamlessly integrated
environment across all phases and processes of the capital project life cycle. All
information is available to whomever needs it, whenever it’s needed, and wherever
it’s needed.”
Where Are We Now?
Where Do We Want To Be?
How do we get there?
 Identify the most appropriate standards for
the industry
 Find a way to accelerate their development
and deployment
 Do it
What standard?
 ISO-15926: Integration of life-cycle data for
process plants, including oil and gas
production facilities
– A standard for explicit information integration
and interoperability
 Standardizes
– Terminology
– Information organization
– How systems connect and exchange information
 Implemented using standards from the
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
Challenge and Approach
 The Standard had been developed over a
15 year period
 FIATECH proposed to accelerate its
deployment and hence the creation of the
ADI Project.
Accelerating Deployment of ISO 15926


Project Goals
– Accelerate deployment of a standard-based neutral platform for
• exchanging
• sharing
• integrating
• hand-over
– lifecycle information between different computer systems
Deliverables
– Tested Open Source, compliant integration software that can be
used as basis for commercial developments
– “Integration software tools”
– Evergreen Internet-based online library providing a Single Global
Source of
• reference data
• core classes and
• object information models
– Bentley Class Editor available to FIATECH project members to
define/harmonize ISO 15926 classes and information models
Intelligent Data Sets – Accelerating Deployment of ISO15926
Challenge and Approach
 Collaboration on this project has led to
much closer collaboration between
FIATECH and POSC Caeser on ISO15926

“Now that this project has delivered on its
promise, we want to spread the message that
there is no longer any reason to wait before
using it. We also want to encourage all those
with whom we do business to begin the
process of adopting it. In fact, each of the
members of the Board of Directors is in the
process of doing exactly that within our own
companies: owners and contractors to require
it in their contracts, and software developers to
implement it. We expect that in the not-toodistant future, it will be a requirement for
doing business all across the process
industry.”

Going Forward - FIATECH
•ADAPT
Mapping our classes to ISO
15926 [ADI, IDS]
•ADOPT
Use Object Information
Models [OIM] from ISO
15926 to match our
requirements
•DEMAND
Demand our contractors and
suppliers provide us data
in ISO 15926
Manage data independent

FIATECH Interoperability Strategy
 Align FIATECH projects (harmonize semantics and
data structures)
 Extend ISO15926 and AEX to power plants (EPRI)
 Bring in permitting and regulatory
 Harmonize with National BIM Standard (IFCs)
 Harmonize with operations (MIMOSA, COBIE,
OpenO&M)
 Harmonize with geospatial (OGC)
 …
Thus achieving interoperability
of
Interoperability standards
The Planets are Aligned
 Business drivers are compelling
 Technology now available to
enable interoperability
 Users can describe
requirements more clearly
 Vendors recognize
interoperability opens new
markets
…then why aren’t we changing faster?
