[[PageOutline]] = '''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 "WIP" or Work In Progress. Access to the PCA Reference Data Library (RDL) 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. = '''PCA RDL (Reference Data Library) Content Access''' = '''''IMPORTANT NOTE''''' : ''Since 2011 the JORD Project is working to enhance the PCA RDS in partnership with FIATECH.
