JORD Project

JORD (Joint Operational Reference Data) is a joint initiative of PCA & FIATECH which aims ...

... to create a stable, scalable and commercially-viable operation
... of the ISO15926 reference data system and associated services.

PCA and FIATECH invite members and non-members ...

... anyone who recognizes that their adoption of ISO15926 depends on shared reference data,
... to support this joint initiative to enhance operational reference data services.

With acknowledgements to committed JORD participants contributing funding and direction to the project:

• Full sponsors : EPIM, RosEnergoAtom, Black & Veatch, CCC, Hatch and VNIIAES
• Supplementary subscribers : Woodside, Dow, Bechtel and Emerson

Additional funding is still required to achieve the scope of Phase2 before the self-sustaining operation of Phase3 can be realised. For additional project participation information contact:
