Requirements to support a modern architecture for industrial data and industrial data standards on the semantic web
Evan K. Wallace, Allison Barnard Feeney, David Leal · 2010
Introduction:The subcommittee of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) tasked with developing standards for industrial data, TC 184/SC 4, has recently undertaken an effort to define a new, more flexible architecture based on widely-used information technologies and standards.The goal of this effort is to reduce barriers to the use of SC 4 standards by industry and increase the utility of SC 4 standards beyond data exchange.This paper provides an overview of the proposed architecture, the types of data it must support and the languages/technologies chosen to support it, and the challenges that it may impose on the use of the Resource Description Framework (RDF) for implementing this architecture.These challenges are similar to those experienced in other uses of RDF, and with this report we hope to encourage further enhancements in standards and tools for RDF to meet these shared needs.
