ISO15926Primer_LongTail
v1 v2 24 24 However, on a large capital project there are a great many information exchanges that are not individually high enough value to warrant the brute force approach of database mapping inherent in a purely dictionary-based exchange. To borrow an idea from a book by Chris Anderson, there is a "Long Tail" in information exchange. 25 25 26 [[Image(ISO15926Primer_19_LongTail_a. jpg, 500px)]]26 [[Image(ISO15926Primer_19_LongTail_a.png, 500px)]] 27 27 28 28 The diagram shows a continuum from large exchanges, where a typical request is to translate an entire plant from one 3D engineering system to another, all the way to individual data values on a data sheet. in each exchange, what we really want is something like a magic "ISO 15926" button. (After all, the design is done; the translating seems to be just mechanics.) But since we don't have such a magic button our only choice is to rekey the information.
