MW: The most formal representation of ISO 15926 are the OWL translations
from EXPRESS. However, OWL is not really satisfactory for our needs. It
suffers from the same problems as UML with regard to classification.

DP: Actually, given the popularity of OWL the POSC/CAESAR Association is working on starting a project on this front:

Project announcement with invitation to participate

This is to announce that PCA, DNV and EPIM have joined forces to develop OWL2 representations of ISO 15926-2. Interested are invited to participate in this effort. Project description and invitation is available from this link

https://www.posccaesar.org/svn/pub/ISO15926asOWL/20110923_ISO15926_OWL2_Native_V2.pdf

I guess these people are a different set wrt MW comment 'OWL is not really satisfactory for our needs'. Note however that the word 'representations' wrt OWL is plural.

Cheers,
David
