Introduction

Using the advanced technology of NLP AI, in particular for semantic similarity between two sentences in a natural language, might be a way to help a mapping Person to find the right mapping between his source data and standard ISO 15926-7 Templates.

The process to follow is:

• select a data element from the source application;
• select the applicable definition from the data dictionary of that application and make sure whether the attribute is about a Class or an Individual;
• look for a suitable AI system that can compare that definition with the 200 definitions of the Template Specifications;
• look at the 3 or 4 template types with the highest "semantic similarity rating" (0 = low to 1=perfect match);
• from there you will have to do the work, until there is an AI system that has been trained in ISO 15926 lingo and can do the selection for you.

As an aside: Documents are instances of ClassOfInformationObject. Instances of a Document, like today's copy of your newspaper, are Individuals.
