Points of contact and sources of further informationConsortiaPISTEPPISTEP is a consortium of UK companies in the process industries. It aims to increase the competitiveness of the UK process industry by improving engineering information management throughout the lifecycle and the supply chain. This is being achieved by the use of information technology and international standards. For membership and general enquiries: Alex Hayward - PISTEP Administrator Technical enquiries: Matthew West - PISTEP Joint Project Manager or Ian Bishop - PISTEP Joint Project Manager POSC CaesarPOSC Caesar is an industry-driven research and development project that was initiated in 1993. The purpose of the project is to benefit the oil and gas industry by developing a Product Model for life-cycle information. The POSC Caesar project is focused on standardising the technical data definitions for facilities and equipment associated with onshore and offshore oil and gas development facilities. There are close ties with ISO STEP. The POSC Caesar have been key contributors to ISO 15926. For further information: POSC Caesar USPI-NLUSPI-NL (Uitgebreid Samenwerkingsverband Procesindustrie, Nederland) is a formal Association of companies operating in, and supplying to, the Dutch Process and Power Industry with the objective to promote and support the development and implementation of those international standards for the interchange, sharing, and management of data and documents, that fulfil the life-cycle plant data and related document management requirements. For further information: Stichting USPI-NL EPISTLEEPISTLE (the European Process Industries STEP Technical Liaison Executive) is a collaboration between three industry consortia: PISTEP, POSC Caesar, and USPI-NL. Members of these consortia work together to develop specifications and standards designed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of information management in the process industries. For further information, please contact any of the individual consortia that are part of EPISTLE. Website: http://www.epistle.ws PlantSTEPPlantSTEP is a US-based industrial consortium of companies that own, design, build, operate and maintain process plants and companies that supply equipment, materials and information technology for the process and construction industries. The primary focus of PlantSTEP is to develop and support implementation of data exchange standards based on ISO/STEP. These standards will enable concurrent engineering, design, construction, and operation of large facilities by allowing full information sharing among all project contributors. PlantSTEP lead the development of ISO 10303-227. Website: http://cic.nist.gov/plantstep POSCPOSC is an international not-for-profit membership corporation that provides open specifications for information modelling, information management, and data and application integration over the life cycle of E&P assets. POSC has developed and published a set of specifications to improve sharing of technical information within and among oil companies, oil field service companies, governments and other players in the industry. These specifications, including the industry recognized data model, Epicentre, are being used in commercial products, industry data repository projects and oil company projects around the world. POSC PIEBASEPIEBASE is the global 'umbrella' for process industry consortia and their member companies active in the development of STEP (Standards for the Exchange of Product Data, ISO standard 10303) and other standards for industrial data for the process industries. It is charged with the overall coordination of the development and implementation of these standards. In particular it is responsible for the vision, and the Road Map needed to deliver that vision, and for the coordination and stimulation of industry activities to achieve that. PIEBASE provides a forum for broad participation by industry consortia in defining the priorities of the global process industry in this area and in reviewing proposals for international standardization. The members of PIEBASE are Process Industry consortia active in the development of international standards for information sharing and exchange. The participants of PIEBASE comprise those process industry companies active in the subject area via their membership of industry consortia, and their representation is their membership of those bodies.
LOGICLOGIC (Leading Oil and Gas Industry Competitiveness) is an industry funded organisation that will work with companies throughout the industry to stimulate collaboration and radically improve competitiveness - improving UK oil and gas sector performance by an estimated £1Bn over the next three years and export performance by 50% over the next five years. LOGIC is continuing the work of the CRINE and CRINE Network Initiatives. For further information contact: LOGIC
STEP CentresThe International Industry STEP Centers (ISC) are organizations that represent industry working on STEP development, implementation and promotion around the world. The members of the ISC are:
There is no UK national STEP Centre, although UK organizations are members of PDES, Inc., ProSTEP, and EMSA (focusing on the aerospace/defence, automotive, and shipping industries respectively). Copyright © PISTEP 2005 |
