Getting Started
The very first step is to read the Primer. (Well, actually, you're already reading it already.) But in case you linked directly to this page, start at the beginning. Select the "Primer Introduction" link in the big green box in the upper right hand corner of this page.
It is important to understand that ISO 15926 is a fundamentally different approach to making machines able to talk to each other and convey meaning. In the past we've viewed machine-to-machine communication as a technology problem, building more powerful processors, or writing more artful code. But we ran into the wall of not knowing how to handle the information. ISO 15926 sidesteps the powerful chips and Machiavellian code and focuses on modeling information.
Self Study - Information Modeling
The barrier to implementation of ISO 15926 is usually not technology. The basic technology used in ISO 15926 has already been developed for the Semantic Web. Usually the biggest barrier is modeling the information in a way that imbeds all the context that people fill in unconsciously.
Self Study - Infrastructure Technology
XML is used in ISO 15926 as a transport language. This means that when an information transfer actually takes place, the message that moved is encoded in XML. Thus, it is helpful to at least know the concept behind XML so you can read the data transmission directly.
Links to Information Modeling and XML are on the Other Resources page of this Primer.
Avalon
The Avalon project, launched in the summer of 2009, had a goal of providing a publicly-available repository of detailed information on how to get started with ISO 15926.
