Generic and data-driven Data Model

• The data model defined in ISO 15926 Part 2
• is highly generic, almost fully normalized,
• and data-driven
• It has 201 entity data types
• Many of those entity data types have instances in
• reference data libraries, such as
• ERDL (EPISTLE Reference Data Library)
• standard parts catalogs
• supplier catalogs
• project data base

the Data Model

• An example of using this generic data model is
• how we can tell what kind of object a particular
• 'physical object' is

• The boxes are entity data types defined in the
  data model.
• Next to an identifier they have (almost) no
  attributes
• 'classification' is a relationship with two
  attributes
• 'classified' that (here) refers to the
  'physical_object'
• 'classifier' that (here) refers to the
  'class_of_inanimate_physical_object' called
  'laptop'

Templates

• The entity data types in ISO 15926-2 can
• be compared with 'grammatical terms' like 'verb',
• 'adjective', 'pronoun', 'conjunction', etc
• Using this metaphor the Templates are 'standard
• sentences' in which these 'terms' play their role
• Then we select the right 'words' for those
  'terms'
• from a reference data library to express
• particular information

Messages

• A message is an XML document that contains
• one or more members of Document Templates
• These members are defined in an ad-hoc
• XML Schema for Message

Level 2 XML exchange files 1

• The Level 2 format is the format that will be
• used the most
• Level 2 is a kind of 'shorthand' of Level 3. This
  
• will be explained on the following slides

Facade

• An infonode plays a role in other infocells as
  well
• Together that describes/defines that infonode

Reference to objects in other Facades

• This template tells that
• the template 'classification of physical object'
  has been defined by the XYZ Corp, and stored in
  their Facade under 37282
• the physical objects are owned by project8 in
  the Aberdeen office of the XYZ Corp, and stored
  in that project Facade
• the physical object is classified with a
  Worthington class of pump, and stored in the
  Facade of that supplier
