What is ISO 15926?
Contents
Short Answer
ISO 15926 is a standard for interoperability and the integration of lifecycle information
Based on a Counterintuitive Idea
When you and I exchange information, the less we know about each other's systems, the more reliable will be our exchange.
Currently we like to know as much as possible about each other's systems in order to make use of fortunate idiosyncracies in order to make the exchange as fast an efficient as possible. This may in fact work. But at the cost of tieing the exchange forever to the particular software, and the particular versions of particular software, forever.
But if we have a more generic approach that does not depend on these idiosyncracies, we can use our method of information exchange on more platforms.
As our method of exchange evolves to depend less and less on particular software it approaches something that sounds, at first, magical.
Your computer and my computer can talk to each other, and neither of us has to know anything about each other’s system beforehand.
