ISO15926Primer_ShortHistory
v14 v15 5 5 ---- 6 6 7 In the ''Introduction to ISO 15926'' we follow the development of project information exchange from the advent of Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) to the present. We look at some of the detours that were taken along the way and show how the idea of a reference data library (RDL), Part 4, and a separate data model, Part 2, came about. We do not intend to make readers into amateur historians, but a brief look at where ISO 15926 comes from will put the standard into a better perspective7 In ''An Introduction to ISO 15926'' we follow the development of project information exchange from the advent of Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) to the present.

With a common set of definitions the data model would not be as cumbersome. 34 34 35 This approach was used in the heat of battleon several world-scale projects in the mid to late 1990s. From this, the data model became ISO 15926 Part 2, and the Reference Data Library became ISO 15926 Part 4.35 This approach was used on several world-scale projects in the mid to late 1990s. From this, the data model became ISO 15926 Part 2, and the Reference Data Library became ISO 15926 Part 4. 36 36 37 37 The RDL of Part 4 matured fairly quickly, becoming the basis of what we might call a small "Plant Model Exchange" industry. For a few years this was the only real-world use of ISO 15926, so this approach became synonymous with ISO 15926.
