Reference Data Services

PCA provides services for Reference Data according to the ISO 15926 standard "Industrial automation systems and integration—Integration of life-cycle data for process plants including oil and gas production facilities". Since the Reference Data Library (RDL) is extensible and managed, the content at any given time is often referred to as the WIP (Work In Progress).

Access to the PCA Reference Data Library (RDL) WIP is provided under the terms of the PCA Articles of Association, namely "Reference Data Libraries shall be open, i.e. .... they can be used by everyone for their own purpose, on equal terms."

Service Requests for RDS System Support and/or RDL Content Support are provided for registered users.

This page describes what those services are and how to access them.
