The Holy Grail: Interoperability of Interoperability Standards

The Holy Grail: interoperability of interoperability standards

Neill Pawsey European Project Manager The FIATECH Consortium

4th Annual ECTP Conference Brussels, Belgium November 24-25, 2009 First, a word about FIATECH… FIATECH …

… is an industry-led consortium that provides global leadership in identifying and accelerating the development, demonstration and deployment of fully integrated and automated technologies to deliver highest business value throughout the life cycle of all types of capital projects. …has developed a “Roadmap for Capital Projects” to ensure right technologies are developed in the order that delivers highest business value across all phases and processes of the capital project life cycle. FIATECH is a Consortium… FIATECH…Delivers!

The Benefits of Interoperability

Increases economic competitiveness Compresses time to market Reduces infrastructure vulnerability Expands markets for companies Decreases supply chain communication costs Provides global access for software vendors “The cost of inadequate interoperability in the U.S. capital facilities industry: $15.8 billion per year.” Current Standards Landscape

All information is available to whomever needs it, whenever it’s needed, and wherever it’s needed.” Where Are We Now? WhereWhere DoDo WeWe WantWant ToTo Be?Be? How do we get there?

Identify the most appropriate standards for the industry Find a way to accelerate their development and deployment Do it What standard?

ISO-15926: Integration of life-cycle data for process plants, including oil and gas production facilities – A standard for explicit information integration and interoperability Standardizes – Terminology – Information organization – How systems connect and exchange information Implemented using standards from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Problem

ISO 15926 has been under development for 15 years and was not expected to be completed for at least 5 more years Project requirements for data deliverables in industry were increasing in quantity and fidelity Companies couldn’t wait for ISO to complete its deliberations They needed to develop something to use now, not 5 years from now Many companies developed their own versions of the standard for internal use only Solution

Work with POSC Caesar to convince ISO to release to FIATECH what it had developed Add to their results what the industry had been developing for internal use Make that available to the industry for widespread use and further development Call it ISO 15926 Work in Progress (WIP) Give it back to ISO to complete the formal standardization process Accelerating Deployment of ISO 15926

Project Goals – Accelerate deployment of a standard-based neutral platform for • exchanging • sharing • integrating • hand-over – lifecycle information between different computer systems Deliverables – Tested Open Source, compliant integration software that can be used as basis for commercial developments – Evergreen Internet-based online library providing a Single Global Source of • reference data • core classes and • object information models – Bentley Class Editor available to FIATECH project members to define/harmonize ISO 15926 classes and information models

We also want to encourage all those with whom we do business to begin the process of adopting it. In fact, each of the members of the Board of Directors is in the process of doing exactly that within our own companies: owners and contractors to require it in their contracts, and software developers to implement it. We expect that in the not-too- distant future, it will be a requirement for doing business all across the process industry.” -James B.

…then why aren’t we changing faster? Top Ten Reasons for Not Changing

1. “Lawyers.” 2. “Lawyers.” 3. “Introducing technology introduces liability.” 4. “I don’t have time to try something new.” 5. “I don’t understand it, so I don’t want to try it.” 6. “I’m not comfortable with new technology.” 7. “Most of this stuff doesn’t work.” 8. “I tried that once, and got burned.” 9. “Technology costs: people, time, money.” 10. “Change is risky.” “Too busy” maybe isn’t a good reason… Top Ten Reasons to Change
