Introduction
The ISO 15926-2 extensions is the place where we introduce entity types that were "forgotten" in Part 2, such as Person, Organization, InformationObject, etc. We need such entity types:
- to enable to declare these individuals (with limitations, see diagram below)
- to enable us to further specialize templates for Individuals. For example the template SkillOfAPerson
This topic also gives information about the way the entity types from the ISO 15926-2 Upper Ontology relate to instances thereof in the ISO 15926-4 Reference Data Library, and how to the added subtypes of Part 2 PossibleIndividual.

Discussion
The added entity types are, provisionally, stored in the Part 12 lci: ontology (lci = life cycle integration). In the future, at the time that Part 2 requires an update, these will be incorporated in Part 2.
These new entity types fit in the Part 2 model as shown in the graph below.

Extensions to ISO 15926-2 data model
The additions of members of the subtypes of ClassOfPhysicalObject below the dotted green line should not be instantiated and are used as top of a hierarchy in the RDL only.
