Abstract

ISO/TS 18876:2003 establishes an architecture and methodology for integrating industrial data for exchange, access and sharing. The following activities are supported:

• integrating data which may be:
  • from different sources or different contexts,
  • described by different models, or
  • defined in different modelling languages;
• sharing data among applications through systems integration architectures;
• resolving conflict between models developed with different objectives;
• translating data between different encodings;
• translating models between different modelling languages.

The following is within the scope of ISO/TS 18876-1:2003:

• the architecture and an outline of the methodology.
