1 Scope
This document specifies an ontology for the integration of industrial data throughout its life cycle. The ontology is represented in OWL.
NOTE 1 The ontology implements capabilities of the life cycle integration schema of ISO 15926‑2.
NOTE 2 OWL has a representation in RDF. Therefore, this document provides an ability to query life cycle integration data using Simple Protocol and RDF Query Language (SPARQL).
The following are within the scope of this document:
-
— fundamental subclasses of an individual that exists in an actual or possible world, including physical object, activity and event;
-
— relationships between physical objects, activities and events, including the creation and destruction of physical objects;
-
— whole-part relationships between physical objects, including temporal part relationships that implement a 4-dimensional (4D) approach to change over time;
-
— points and periods in time;
-
— points and regions in space;
-
— the identification of points in time by text strings in the format defined by ISO 8601.
The following are outside the scope of this document:
-
— definitions of physical quantities and measurement scales;
-
— knowledge organization and document metadata specifications;
-
— approval and status;
-
— geometry and topology, including shape.
NOTE 3 Geometry and topology are covered by ISO/TS 15926‑3.
