Information Modelling Framework
The Asset Information Modelling Framework (IMF) was initiated in the READI Joint Industry Project and has in 2021 been further developed, with participation from SIRIUS partners and researchers, in the NOAKA field development project. While the IMF project aims at innovation in the industry, SIRIUS researchers contribute with methods and theoretical foundation, advancing scalability of semantic technologies for complex industrial use cases.
IMF targets the need in the industry for developing more precise structuring of asset information. It aims to deliver methods and resources that enable the design of:
• Machine to machine sharing through publishing so that pieces of asset information can be seamlessly reused in a «single source of truth» manner,
• Protocols for exchange of information and for dyna- mically allocating authoring rights in compliance with the needs of companies in the value chain.
IMF as fully implemented in a field development project will consist of several components, as illustrated in Figure 2. An IMF asset model digitally shared and exchanged in a cloud environment is linked to a reference data library, typically delivered by the Posc Caesar Association (PCA). The IMF model is created using software that is prototyped in the IMF project:
• The Mimir model builder is an editor that supports development of IMF models
• The Type editor supports development of common industry types for the objects in IMF models
• Mechanisms to link project specific data in engineering registers to the IMF model
Reference Data Library PCA
• •
Models of asset information so that questions that today can only be answered by discipline experts, can instead be answered by querying a computer,
Industry commons resources, such as properties, types and classes, can be shared and used by all parties in the value chain,
