= The POSC Caesar Trac =

[http://www.posccaesar.org POSC Caesar Association (PCA)] is a global, nonprofit member organization that shall promote the development of open specifications to be used as standards for enabling the interoperability of data, software and related matters. 

PCA initiated [wiki:ISO15926 ISO 15926] “Integration of life-cycle data for process plants including oil and gas production facilities" and is committed to its maintenance and enhancement.

This website is set up to be an arena for collaboration on projects and matters concerning the development of interoperability standards and other related businesses. To join this collaborative effort please ask for an account on the PCA Trac to one of the contact points listed below.

== POSC Caesar Special Interest Groups (SIG) ==

This Trac system was initially set up to serve the PCA [wiki:Sig Special Interest Groups (SIG)]. The SIGs will maintain and develop domain-specific areas of the POSC Caesar Reference Data Library. There is also a SIG [wiki:SigTab Technical Advisory Board].

== Trac ==

[wiki:Trac] combines a Wiki for collaborative authoring with a version-controlled document repository. It is a Subversion store, providing version control of files -- which is essential for avoiding clutter and confusion. Good practice is to never write a file version number in a file name!

To read from or contribute to the repository, you need to be a registered user. You also need to install a Subversion client; for Windows users, we recommend [http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ TortoiseSVN]. The repository address is `http://trac.posccaesar.org/svn` (also available via https, use `https://trac.posccaesar.org/svn`). See [wiki:RepositoryTortoiseSVN RepositoryTortoiseSVN] for step by step tutorials on how to access the repository.
