Data Modelling Status and Requirements

This deliverable reports on the requirements and status on the updates of the ISO 28005 and IEC 61162 standards that have been developed and updated during the AEGIS project. This work has been done through organizations as IMO, ISO, IEC and IALA to ensure that the data models for operational interoperability between autonomous ships and ports are standardized through well-established organizations with support from a large part of the shipping industry. A core development in this work is the IMO Reference Model which was first approved by IMO in the Facilitation committee (FAL) in 2019. The IMO Reference Model and IMO Data Set (also called the IMO Compendium) initially covered the reporting requirements from the IMO FAL Convention. It was later extended to cover operational data exchanges beyond this scope. In parallel to the development of the IMO Compendium, the ISO 28005 series of standards has been updated with new protocols and data types to cover the data sets in the IMO Reference Model and IMO Data Set. Also, the IEC 61162 series of standards for onboard communication is in continuous development to handle the increased requirements put on the onboard networks regarding capacity and cyber security.
