Taxonomies for a Metrology Information Infrastructure

Abstract

What if your organization’s measurement, analysis and management computing systems spoke a shared language with other world-wide measurement-related systems? How would that affect your business? How would it ease your ISO/IEC 17025 compliance challenges? Imagine a set of normative standards that define data structures, taxonomies, service protocols and security for locating, communicating and sharing measurement information. Those standards comprise what we call a measurement information infrastructure, or MII. In 2017, the NCSLI MII & Automation Committee presented the MII Vision and held discussion on its progress. This year’s open discussion panel session focuses on the taxonomies required to implement an MII and highlight how you may participate in the real-world benefits it will create and the efforts underway to realize them. The session will also demonstrate some MII-aware software under development.
