Asset Data Must Be FAIR!

Managing physical assets in the constructed environment, such as roads and bridges, but also artefacts in buildings, is increasingly information intensive. With the advent of new technologies, such as sensoring and digital twins, expectations are rising. The asset manager needs information to plan maintenance activities, to meet compliance requirements, and more. Other parties need information about the assets for other purposes, such as traffic management, safety and incident response. The data is obtained from a variety of sources, such as contractors. Point-to-point solutions do not scale anymore. Quite a number of interesting projects in this area use semantic web technology to provide a fundamentally different approach. At the same time, international standards organisations are involved in new standardisation initiatives.

In this presentation, we will review the developments around existing OTLs. We will look at the technology used, the goals that have been attained and challenges ahead. We also discuss the international developments in the area of standardisation and link these to progress made on the ground.
