USING PROCESS SPECIFICATION LANGUAGE FOR PROJECT INFORMATION EXCHANGE

There are many project scheduling and management programs employed in the construction industry. Standards-based translation is one way to achieve interoperability. This study evaluates the applicability of the Process Specification Language (PSL) for exchanging project information among different applications. PSL has been initiated by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and is emerging as a standard exchange language for process information in the manufacturing industry. In this paper, we explore how PSL can be extended for exchanging project information for construction applications.
