Introduction
ISO 15926 is an International Standard for the representation of process industries facility life-cycle
information. This representation is specified by a generic, conceptual data model that is suitable as the
basis for implementation in a shared database or data warehouse. The data model is designed to be
used in conjunction with reference data, i.e. standard instances that represent information common to
a number of users, production facilities, or both. The support for a specific life-cycle activity depends on
the use of appropriate reference data in conjunction with the data model.
ISO 15926 is organized as a series of parts, each published separately. This document specifies the
initial set of reference data items.
The structure of ISO 15926 is as follows:
— ISO 15926-1 provides an overview of ISO 15926;
— ISO 15926-2 contains a generic, conceptual data model that supports representation of all life-cycle
aspects of a process plant;
— ISO/TS 15926-3 contains a reference data library for geometry and topology;
— ISO/TS 15926-4 contains a reference data library for physical objects, activities, properties and
other reference data necessary to record information about a process plant;
— ISO/TS 15926-6 specifies the information necessary within a reference data library used by a part
of ISO 15926;
— ISO/TS 15926-7 specifies an implementation method for ISO 15926-2 using templates;
— ISO/TS 15926-8 specifies an OWL representation of the data model in ISO 15926-2 for use with
templates;
— ISO 15926-10 specifies conformance requirements for process plant data according to ISO 15926-2;
— ISO/TS 15926-11 specifies a simplified implementation methodology ISO 15926-2 using RDF triples;
— ISO/TS 15926-12 contains an OWL representation of the ISO 15926-2 data model, with a direct
semantics subset;
— ISO 15926-13 specifies the use of the ISO 15926-2 data model for the representation of asset planning
information and contains an XML schema for the exchange of this information between systems.

This document specifies the initial set of core reference data items which can be used to record
information about process plants, including oil and gas production facilities.
The following are within the scope of this document:

NOTE 1 Reference data items can be core classes, de facto classes, commodity classes and manufactured
product classes. Reference data items can also be standard classes or proprietary classes. The terms for the
different types of class are defined in 3.1. A discussion about the different types of classes is contained in
Annex D.
NOTE 2 A core class defined by this document can be used by ISO 15926-2, ISO/TS 15926-7,
ISO/TS 15926-8, ISO/TS 15926-11, ISO/TS 15926-12, ISO 15926-13 and ISO 10303-221.
— the unique name for each reference data item;
— the definition of each reference data item;
— subclass and classification relationships between reference data items;
— the entity within ISO 15926-2 that can be used to record each reference data item.

3.1 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:

3.1.1
class
category or division of things based on one or more criteria for inclusion and exclusion
Note 1 to entry: A class need not have any members (things that satisfy its criteria for membership).
Note 2 to entry: Because the spatio-temporal paradigm is used to define individuals in this document, all classes
are non-well-founded sets. These are explained in ISO 15926-2:2003, D.2.4.
[SOURCE: ISO 15926-1:2004, 3.1.1, modified — Note 2 to entry has been modified.]
3.1.2
commodity product class
manufactured product class (3.1.7) whose members conform to open agreed standards
Note 1 to entry: Commodity product classes have sufficient characterization to indicate suitability of use.
They are specializations of one or more de facto classes (3.1.5), standard classes (3.1.12), or both. The resulting
specification is non-proprietary, as no one organization controls it.
EXAMPLE The type of light bulb known as “60 W 230 V E27” is a commodity product class.
[SOURCE: ISO 15926-1:2004, 3.1.2]
3.1.3
core class
class (3.1.1) that is a commonly used subdivision corresponding to terms used in common language
Note 1 to entry: The conditions for membership are often not formally defined, so understanding of the class may
be conveyed by example.
EXAMPLE Pipe, floor, pump, and light bulb are all core classes.
[SOURCE: ISO 15926-1:2004, 3.1.4]
3.1.4
data
representation of information (3.1.6) in a formal manner suitable for communication, interpretation, or
processing by human beings or computers
[SOURCE: ISO 10303-1:1994, 3.2.14]
3.1.5
de facto class
class (3.1.1) corresponding to common natures that are widely recognized but not formally agreed
or defined
Note 1 to entry: De facto classes can be subsequently formalized by international, national, or industry agreement.
Note 2 to entry: A manufacturer can choose to make a product of similar specification to that of another
manufacturer in order to compete for the market share by choosing to conform to some characteristics of the
other product.

EXAMPLE USB port and HB pencil are de facto classes.

3.1.6

facts, concepts, or instructions
[SOURCE: ISO 10303-1:1994, 3.2.20]
3.1.7
manufactured product class
class (3.1.1) whose members are individuals produced by a manufacturing process
Note 1 to entry: The members of a manufactured product class can be discrete, or can be batches or continuous
flows, such as process fluids.
Note 2 to entry: A manufactured product class may correspond to a specification that has not been realized, such
as a product specification for which no products have been made.
EXAMPLE 1 Lightbulbs of type “60 W 230 V E27” is a manufactured product class whose members are discrete.
EXAMPLE 2 Unleaded petrol to “EN 228” is a manufactured product class whose members are continuous.
