Annotation

These modules apply to the entire asset management enterprise as defined within Network Rail’s asset management strategy, both internal and external to Network Rail throughout the lifecycle of asset data.

These modules apply to data related to all assets and to data that describes the operational railway (i.e. network models and attributes), but does not apply to operational geography related to infrastructure assets e.g. TIPLOC, STANOX and Network links.

It does not apply to data related to non-operational assets such as IT and office facilities assets.

Purpose

These modular standards set out the processes within the quality management system for asset-related data and information and for asset data governance:

-

data quality planning – the process to define data and information requirements and to set plans to maintain the required accuracy of asset related data;

-

data architecture management – the process to maintain the asset data architecture and at a conceptual level to meet business information needs;

-

data stewardship management – the process to define the responsibilities for asset data and deliver a stewardship model;

-

data flow management – the process to identify where and how asset related data is used and maintained throughout Network Rail;
