This document specifies an ontology for the integration of industrial data throughout its life-cycle. The
ontology is represented in Web Ontology Language (OWL).
NOTE 1 The ontology implements capabilities of the life-cycle integration schema of ISO 15926-2.
NOTE 2 OWL has a representation in RDF. Therefore, this document provides an ability to query life-cycle
integration data using Simple Protocol and RDF Query Language (SPARQL).
The following are within the scope of this document:
— fundamental subclasses of an individual that exists in an actual or possible world, including physical

— relationships between physical objects, activities and events, including the creation and destruction
of physical objects
— whole-part relationships between physical objects, including temporal part relationships that
implement a 4-dimensional (4D) approach to change over time
— points and periods in time
— points and regions in space
— the identification of points in time by text strings in the format defined by ISO 8601.
The following are outside the scope of this document:
— definitions of physical quantities and measurement scales
— knowledge organization and document metadata specifications
— approval and status
— geometry and topology, including shape.
NOTE 3 Geometry and topology are covered by ISO/ TS 15926-3.
