Information about the 15926 projects
Posted: Thu Oct 11, 2012 10:59 am
This thread is about publicizing your links that have to do with ISO 15926.
General information.
The ISO 15926 standard needs to be purchased. The price is not high (or maybe it is). Location to buy:
http://www.iso.org/iso/home/search.htm? ... blished=on
If you want to learn the aspects you need at least buy ISO 15926 parts 2, 7 and 8. The templates in part 7 are just an initial set. We have completed the set and keep the list of master template specs here http://15926.org/15926_template_specs.php
Part 1 is a general summary. It is published.
Support editor is Nils Sandsmark.
Part 2 is the generic data model in ISO 10303 - EXPRESS. It is published as Technical Spec (TS). Stanfort has put the online EXPRESS model here. Posc Caesar has put the online OWL version here.
Editors are Matthew West, Hans Teijgeler and Jan Sullivan.
Part 3 is about geometry (mathematics about drawing symbols). It is used for to instancing 3D models or 2D schematics. It is published as TS.
Editor is David Leal.
Part 4 is about the standard ontology (the class library). It is important but all of that is online in SPARQL endpoints or spreadsheets. The text of part 4 has some useful descriptions about ontology (buy from ISO).
The standardized part 4 classes are kept up-to-date on the spreadsheets in this folder http://standards.iso.org/iso/15926/-4
Part 4 orginated from work of a great deal of companies, starting 1992.
Editors are David Leal and Magne Valen-Sendstad (and as said, many others)
Part 5 used to exist but was canceled. It was about support procedures. These are now under development with ISO/TC184/SC4 for standards as databases in general.
Part 6 is about the class metadata (info about a class itself). It is not yet published. If you want a copy you can email the editors. In the email you must state that you want to "review it".
Editors: "David Leal" <[email protected]>, "Magne Valen-Sendstad" <[email protected]>,
Part 7 is about templates. These are self-contained info blocks that can be used for ISO 15926 data exchange or semantic reasoning. Part 7 contains a good deal of standardization but the initial set of templates it has is superseded by the work on http://15926.org/15926_template_specs.php
Part 7 is published as TS.
Editors are Johan Kluewer and Onno Paap
Part 8 is about translation of models in Part 2, 6 and 7 format into RDF/OWL.
Part 8 is published as TS.
Editors are Johan Kluewer and Onno Paap
Part 9 is about federation implementation of ontologies (facades). It is not yet published. If you want a copy you can email the editors. In the email you must state that you want to "review it".
Editors: "Rahul Patil" <[email protected]>, "Onno Paap" <[email protected]>,
Part 10 is about compliance testing. It is not yet published. If you want a copy you can email the editors. In the email you must state that you want to "review it".
Editors: "Mark Palmer" <[email protected]>, "Hans Teijgeler" <[email protected]>,
Part 11 is about Gellish implementation. It is not yet published. If you want a copy you can email the editor. In the email you must state that you want to "review it".
Editor: "Ruijven, L van (Leo)" <[email protected]>,
There are many teams working on aspects of the standard.
The main websites are:

The wikipedia article about the 15926:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_15926
There is an active Linkedin group here
http://www.linkedin.com/groups?mostPopular=&gid=2547763
The Fiatech runs many ISO 15926 projects.
Their active projects page is here:
http://www.fiatech.org/projects/active-projects
Special attention to Hans Teijgeler's websites which are rich in explanations and examples. (Hans is co-editor of parts 2, 4, 7 and 8)
http://www.infowebml.ws/
http://15926.info/
The POSC Caesar website has a restricted area with additional material. If you want access to the restricted parts you can go to this link:
http://rdssupport.posccaesar.org/wiki/R ... orpcalogin
(all the way at the bottom)
The online (SPARQL endpoint) address for the Reference Data Library (Ontology) is here:
SPARQL endpoint for the JORD project on the POSC Caesar servers
http://posccaesar.org/endpoint/sparql
These are a semantic web triple store endpoint (used for SPARQL queries).
However if you just want to search classes (as an engineer) the goto address is:
http://posccaesar.org/endpoint/
Some information to continue on ISO 15926:
Active projects that are focused on interoperability using ISO 15926
These projects are very much result oriented, practical projects with high energy, speed and deadlines.
IRING User Group Focus is to further develop the IRING Tools software, which is open source public domain "full" ISO 15926 compliant, so including Semantic Web technology and templates. Contact is "Robin Benjamins" <[email protected]>, It has a biweekly meeting,

JORD (Joint Operation Reference Data)
This is a project to create the environment and infrastructure of a centralized reference data library (ontology), and an organization to support it.
Project manager: "Ian Glendinning" <[email protected]>,
Project page: https://www.posccaesar.org/wiki/FiatechJord
The 15926.org website
This is used for developing new models and templates. Also used for discussions on methodologies and technical solutions.
You will find the complete proposed base/core templates list under the online tools section. If you register you will be able to post questions on its forum.
We suggest that you post your study questions in its forum, even if they are basic ones, so that everybody may learn.
http://15926.org/
There are a number of private specific workgroups on the 15926.org
You have to be logged-in and member of such a group to participate.
If you want information about the things going on (quite a lot) or want to start a workgroup email [email protected] or any other project manager of listed projects.
Miscellaneous information:
The whole ontology in MS Access format can be downloaded here:
http://rds.posccaesar.org/downloads/PCA-RDL.mdb.zip
but understand this is just a snapshot and it will be out of sync with the online data. It contains two tables: things and relationships. Things are classes and properties. Relationships connect them. You will not find typical data warehouse / datasheet like "objects with properties" models.
Those are object information models that still need to be created under the 15926.org project
The above database and download contain all the classes in the work-in-progress area (total ~ 50,000), including the standardized classes of ISO 15926-4.
