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

Contextual Attributes Producer Business Process Consumer Business Process Information Item Type / (Work) Product Type / Standard Title Information Item Class/ (Work) Product Class Information (K-I-D) Type e.g. Appraisal Well Proposal Well Rock/Core Data Well Completion Programme Active Well Drilling Process Producer Discipline Consumer Discipline Asset Type Asset Identifier An Information Item Type automatically maps to the other contextual Attributes (and more). This 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.

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 Expro’s work. Shell has been working on global integration. Efforts to enable and align related E&P specifications and standards (e.g. reference value standards) with the E&P Cataloguing taxonomy standards should go forward.
Summary In ’05, we hope to achieve enhanced E&P 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.
