The first part of the ISO 18101 Technical Specification has now been published by ISO. Developed by ISO Technical Committee 184/Working Group 6, ISO/TS 18101 describes how to utilize a portfolio of existing standards to achieve systems of systems interoperability in the oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation, public utilities and other asset-intensive industries. It incorporates the use of a standardized connectivity architecture and a use case architecture to describe a supplier-neutral open industrial digital ecosystem and the interoperability requirements of standardized industry use cases. The foreword stipulates that:
Future parts of the ISO 18101 series will be developed including sets of industry developed use cases, once the use cases have been documented using the Open Industrial Interoperability Ecosystem (OIIE) use case architecture and validated using the OIIE Oil and Gas Interoperability (OGI) Pilot, with the results captured in Technical Reports.
