General

Full name of the tool .15926 Editor
Description of the tool .15926 Editor is an application to work with data compliant to international standard ISO 15926 "Industrial automation systems and integration — Integration of life-cycle data for process plants including oil and gas production facilities". It allows to build domain ontologies (reference data) under the upper ontology (type system) of ISO 15926-2.

With fully functional RDF viewer/editor at the core, .15926 Editor can parse and present any RDF compliant ontology data set. The Editor can easily handle large data sources which are difficult or impossible to explore in a majority of publicly available tools.

.15926 Editor is a tool designed with three major goals in mind:

• explore existing sources of reference data (domain ontologies) in as many formats as possible;

• verify reference data;

• engineer new reference data, including automated reference data creation through mapping from external sources.

The Editor is intended to become for ISO 15926 ontology data what Protégé became for OWL data – a primary tool for data exploration.

.15926 Editor is built on the .15926 Platform to demonstrate Platform's capabilities. .15926 Platform is a name for an architecture and a set of specific interfaces and libraries to work with ISO 15926 data. It is developed by TechInvestLab.ru to facilitate creation of semantic applications to work with ISO 15926 data in all possible ways – read, visualize, explore, search, reason, map, write, exchange, etc.
