STANDARDS INTO THE ENTERPRISE

STANDARDS

INTO

THE

ENTERPRISE

SWISS The Interoperable Standards System

PROBLEM

Companies spend too much time and money,

and take unnecessary risk

getting standards from PDF into their everyday

workflow.

SWISS SOLUTION

Semantic Web for Interoperable

Specs and Standards

Cloud platform that makes it easier

and more efficient to integrate

standards data into your enterprise

and supply chain

– reducing time, cost, and risk.3

THE CURRENT PARADIGM

Standards are published, distributed, stored, and shared as individual documents…

“Go to Section 4.2.4.”

“Must comply with API 650.”

“Do not exceed weight limits expressed in ASTM B104.”

“Refer to AGMA 1010-E95.”

“Must comply with API 650.”

API 620(277 pages)

NAVIGATION TAKES TOO MUCH TIME

“Use ASTM A36M.”

API 650(498 pages)

ASTM A36M(3 pages)

“See AWS D1.1.”

AWS D1.1(646 pages)

“For petroleum tanks, see API 650”

First you need 3 PDs(78 pages)

Then 13 MIL Specs(558 pages)

Then 23 Government Specs(3492 pages)

Then 71 Industry standards(925 pages)

Nearly 200 references to 98 documents,

5053 pages from 13 document sources.

SOLUTION: INTEROPERABILITY

Eliminate silos: Seamless linking from section to section and document to document.

o From ASTM to ASTM to ASTM

o From ASTM to API to ASME to IEEE to ISO to IEC to ASTM…

o From Boeing to ASTM to IEEE to Boeing to AIA to Boeing…

SOLUTION: A.I. LINKING

Contextual links to the exact section that matters.

13

These two links go to different locations in ASTM D380.

4.7.4 Burst Pressure

Burst pressure testing shall be conducted in accordance with ASTM

D380 on the test samples that were subjected to the leakage test.

4.7.5 Low temperature flexibility

The low temperature flexibility test shall be determined in

accordance with the low temperature test described in ASTM D380.

What now? Go find AGMA 1010-E95, and figure out which

section is relevant (275 pages).

Equations

CAD Drawings

Tables of Numbers

Copy/paste or manually rekey into

notebooks, Word, Excel, Matlab,

calculator, software, etc.

Recreate in CAD.

Data Element Now What?

INTEGRATION IS STUCK IN 1985

The adapter assembly must be capable of operating at temperatures ranging from -65 °F to +160 °F (-54°C to +320°C).

SOLUTION: EASY DERIVATIVES

Integrate text, equations, tables, graphs, and images to any other application including MS Word, Excel, PLM, and more.

o Resulting derivatives are licensed and shareable

o Unauthorized users can’t view the derivative

o Permanent part of the digital thread
