Evolution of the PODS pipeline data model Since its inception, the PODS Association has supported continued development of the PODS Pipeline Data Model in order to meet the evolving needs of pipeline operating companies. Government regulation and technological advancement of integrity and risk management applications has driven much of this progress. Below is a brief overview of how the PODS Pipeline Data Model has been expanded to meet the continually growing needs of pipeline companies. ISAT 1995 PODS 2.0 1998 PODS 3.2 2004 PODS 4.0 2006 PODS 5.0 2009 PODS 5.1 2011 Tables 72 184 453 645 652 678 Sub-Models 0 48 146 198 198 203 Columns - 1,080 3,228 4,888 4,843 1 5,171 1 Reduced because ID columns were dropped. PODS 6.0 (4Q2012) The next release of the PODS Data Model (6.0) will offer new PODS implementations the option to customize their deployment of the model to suit their company’s specific objectives. In PODS 6.0, the model has been modularized so that only the Core Module is required, and all other modules are optional. Modularization will help new member companies reduce complexity by allowing them to select just the parts of the model they wish to deploy. Modularization also positions the Association to incrementally improve the model via minor releases to individual modules, to release targeted modules with functions specific to regional or industrial segments, and to provide more timely updates to the model. 12
collaborating to develop industry best practices There are numerous and far-reaching benefits to the pipeline industry in the establishment of non-proprietary (open) data standards and best practices. The PODS Association works with industry partner organizations to provide a framework for industry stakeholders to work collaboratively to develop data standards for the benefit of the pipeline industry as a whole. PODS establishes chartered Work Groups consisting of PODS member companies, industry organizations (such as NACE), and other interested parties to work jointly on these projects. The collaboratively-developed standards typically govern data structures and formats to enable electronic integration of data, standardized collection scope and format, and to allow for comparison of data gathered for a given pipeline segment at different times, regardless of the software system used to collect it. PODS work groups have included: • External Corrosion Direct Assessment (ECDA) • Inline Inspection (ILI) • One Call and Damage Prevention • PODS ESRI Spatial • PODS Oracle Spatial some recently announced PODS work groups include: • Alternate Referencing • PODS Gas Distribution Model (GDM) • Data Standards for New Construction 13
