A METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SEMANTIC INTEGRATION APPROACH FOR FIELD DEVICE LIFE CYCLE MANAGEMENT

摘要

A system and method of managing a field device throughout the entire life cycle of the field device includes a merged ontology based on one or more standards models relating to the field device. A validation rules module may be used to validate the merged ontology. A parser is configured for receiving device descriptions in human readable format and may validate the device described for compliance with the merged ontology.
