Lord Browne (CEO, BP) has said, "Anyone in the
organization who is not directly accountable for
making a profit should be involved with creating
and distributing knowledge that the company can
use to make a profit."

Underlying Principles
Treat Knowledge, Information Data as a continuum
Build catalogues that span Information in
documents and databases using standardized
classification schemes
Understand and capture Information ( K-I-D )
context
Manage knowledge capture and classification as
natural parts of the business process

An Information Item Type automatically maps to

can simplifying the CATALOGUING process.

Another thought
If the product plans for successful projects in
this area (inter-enterprise information exchange)
were to be analyzed, the finding would be that
considerable time is spent not so much in
defining interfaces but in classifying and
providing common terms for the business aspects
in that domain. Source Cutter Consortium

Summary
In 02, The Shell Expro experience with
Cataloguing was presented to industry. POSC
agreed to support and evolve supporting attribute
and vocabulary definitions. Several workshops
were held.
In 03, POSC published the first version of the
standards on recommendation of the DSS SIG. Shell
(Holland) expanded Expros work. Shell has been
working on global integration.
Efforts to enable and align related EP
specifications and standards (e.g. reference
value standards) with the EP Cataloguing
taxonomy standards should go forward.
37
Summary
In 05, we hope to achieve enhanced EP Catalogue
standards based on input from Shell and others.
Broad industry participation is essential!
Efforts towards practical solutions can be
incremental. Benefits can be realized along the
way.
Focusing on taxonomies and cataloguing is an
essential part of the trend by large oil and
service/software companies towards data storage
and access federation.
