Industry Tagging Philosophy - A proposal for consideration Problem Statement - Tagging is a unique identifier in the field and in digital systems….​ Clarity about extent of tagging the ability to implement different engineering or operational use cases. Examples​ Design - The increasing use of modular and package systems can lead to inconsistent levels of tagging with the parent facility and need for rework​ Construction - identification or tagging of objects required to enable Advance Work Packaging​ Operational – identification of manual valves, civil infrastructure or flanges to enable specific operational or digital use cases​ Digital – level of tagging determines level of classification required. Consistency of tagging affects interoperability of digital systems.​ A digital representation of the facility that does not reflect the necessary level of content means expensive rework after project handover​ …..but there is no industry guide about what to tag​ Proposal​ Project and operational use cases require different levels of granularity…
