Mandate for PCA Industry Information Semantic Architecture Special Interest Group

Purpose

• Develop architecture
  • At logical level, with examples of possible implementation architectures
  • Including information access and governance
• Communicate how ISO15926 and other standards are being used and interlinked
• Ensure industry relevance

Tasks

• Define a ”work process vs. Information Technology Architecture and Information Management Architecture” matrix
  • Spanning Engineering, Production, Operation and Maintenance.
  • Align relevant semantic technologies, models and standards
• Design architecture supporting use cases:
  • Initially these two usecases: Handover from EPC to owner /operators. and remove / replace operation
  • Subsequently: Application interfacing, to the execution environment
  • Include relevant standards artifacts as part of architecture,
• Provide documentation
  • Deliver as an update to OLF Reference Architecture for IO G2
• Provide demonstrator
  • Architecturally relevant demonstrations
  • Provide a small representative model supporting use cases
  • Focus on what is practical, implementable and result-oriented

Organization

• Key parties in the industry
  • Owner/Operators (e.g. Statoil, Woodside, NWU, Total)
  • EPC companies (e.g. Bechtel, Aker Solutions)
  • Standards representatives (e.g. PCA/ISO15926, Open O&M/MIMOSA)
  • Software vendors (e.g. IBM, Bentley, Aveva)
  • System Integrators, Analyst, Consultancies (e.g. IBM, Computas, DNV, Assetricity)
  • Educational institutions (e.g University of Oslo, University of South Australia)
  • Industry associations (e.g OLF)
• Composition across organization categories
• Composition across geography
• Organize in
  • Core Team
  • Extended team
• Align with Open O&M Operation and Maintenance SIG,
  • ref Markus Stumptner, University of South Australia (DISCUSS)
• PCA’s staff handles administrative tasks.
• Reporting to the PCA GM

Way of working

• Work program to be provided
• Work format
  • Full team (core team and extended team) meet two times per year
    • At least one face to face in conjunction with other major conference
  • Core team meet more frequently
    • and ahead of full team meetings
  • Ad-hoc working groups/projects may be established when needed
  • Collaboration through virtual and appropriate tools,
    • PCA WIKI
• Governance
  • Comply with PCA and member general policies and practices, including Intellectual Property policies

Duration

The SIG will run until it is terminated as agreed by the Board
