Ensuring regulatory compliance with oil and gas industry standards with the Open Data for Industries APIs

IBM® Open Data for Industries ensures regulatory compliance of Oil & Gas industry standards.

Service This service is not available by default. An administrator must install this service on the IBM Cloud Pak for Data platform. To determine whether the service is installed, open the Services catalog and check whether the service is enabled.

Open Data for Industries extracts metadata and adjusts it to a common frame of reference to support discovery. All data that enters the Open Data for Industries service is tagged with attributes for you to decide about the right of use for this data. These tags capture data ownership, data security, and information related to data residence and trade compliance.

The Open Data for Industries workflow has four main stages:
Load and tag
Includes ingestion and indexing. Ingested data, including its format, is preserved from the source system according to policy and residency. Metadata is extracted and bound to tags that determine the right of use.
Discover, refine, enrich
Metadata is indexed to support attribute and semantic search. Data is enriched through classification, assessment, and aggregation.
Consume
Optimizes data content schema, format, and entitlements for a consumption workflow step.
Secure and operate
In-depth security is provided through authentication, authorization, data entitlement, and cloud native security boundaries. The service is operated by using managed APIs.
Figure 1. Data workflow in Open Data for Industries
This diagram shows the Open Data for Industries workflow across four phases. Seven action boxes are shown, including sources, governance, ingest, discover, enrich, security, and operations. All action boxes except the sources box are part of the core Open Data for Industries functionality. The first phase is called "load and tag" and begins with sources box, which flows to the governance box. The second phase is called "discover, refine, enrich", and spans the boxes for ingest, discover, and enrich. The discover and enrich boxes flow into the "Consume" phase, which depicts industry workflows. This "consume" phase and its workflows flow back to the ingest box. The fourth phase is called "Secure an operate" and spans boxes for security technologies and processes, as well as operations actions that use managed APIs.
