To assist the rising growth and adoption of good, autonomous and remote-control capabilities within the marine and offshore industries, ABS has launched an advisory offering finest practices for creating and utilizing metadata for managing digital info.
Metadata defines and describes different information and what it pertains to, offering context to allow information to be processed and translated into usable info.
“Metadata is one of those behind-the-scenes elements of the digital transformation that impacts all aspects of a vessel from design to operation to decommissioning,” says Patrick Ryan, ABS senior vice chairman, world engineering and know-how. “Supporting ship owners and operators to capitalize on this information is core to our mission. Because of its role in translating other data, making it more useable, metadata is an essential element of smart, autonomous, and remote-control functions that rely on data to support decisions by humans or systems.”
The ABS Advisory on Data Quality for Marine and Offshore Application – Metadata, is the newest in ABS’ persevering with sequence on the utilization of vessel information.
