INDEX taxonomy

Appendix B—Equipment Index Allows the user to determine the taxonomy location for equipment types familiar to the CPI. 

To find generic data in this book for use in a CPQRA, the reader should first locate the taxonomy number for the equipment under study by referring to Appendix B, Equipment Index. This index shows the taxonomy number for various types of commonly used equipment. Knowing the taxonomy number, the reader can consult the Index of Filled Data Cells (Table 5.2) to determine if the data exist in Chapter S. Alternatively, the user... 

To help the reader select the appropriate data resource, an index precedes Sections 4.3 through 4.8. The index provides the source number within the section and the following set of data elements for each source title, industry, number and type of records, and data boundary. Appendix C contains additional information about the data elements presented in each data resource. It can also be used to help identify the resources which may provide data for a CPQRA. A discussion of the Appendix C Matrix and an explanation of data elements indexed is presented. After examining Appendix C and the pattern of data elements contained in the data resources, it is evident that equipment reliability data have been published in a variety of formats, often without any apparent effort to conform to a recognized standard for data specification. The CCPS Taxonomy and the raw data collection requirements in Chapter 6 present the basis for reliability data specification in future literature. 

This chapter contains tables of generic equipment failure rate data for some of the CPI equipment types listed in Appendix A, the CCPS Taxonomy, or in Appendix B, the Equipment Index. Section 5.1 on data selection explains how data were selected from resources and lists which resources in Chapter 4 were used to provide data. 

Section 5.3, Data Table Presentation, illustrates the format used for data tables and explains the type of information contained. Data tables have been presented only for those data cells where data existed at that level in the taxonomy. These are listed by taxonomy number in the Data Cell Index, Table 5.2. 

As explained in Section 3.3, failure rate data for a piece of equipment or system can be located by the taxonomy number for the equipment. The number can be found by using the CCPS Taxonomy, Appendix A, or the alphabetized hardware list in the Equipment Index, Appendix B. Table 5.2 shows whether the CCPS data base contains failure rate data for that numbered data cell or for an appropriate higher-level cell. Alternatively, the user may look directly for the desired taxonomy cell in the data tables.

In addition to fragment and graph indexing of polymer information, the POLID-CAS YR system also makes use of two distinct vocabularies for non-structural terms. The first vocabulary is, in essence, a controlled vocabulary of hierarchically ordered terms (taxonomy), supplemented by a second, more fluid vocabulary, which is subject to constant editing. The latter is used to further enhance the controlled vocabulary, e.g., the term isomerization , which is part of the controlled vocabulary, could be defined further by the terms racemization , tautomerization or rotation isomerization . Annotation of this kind is only a short step away from techniques, which we now associate with the terms tagging and folksonomies and which are typical components of Web 2.0 systems. POLIDCASYR s controlled vocabulary is structured according to a number of semantic categories such...

A bigger challenge to addressing the failings of peer review comes from perceptions within the broader scientific community. Peer review is widely portrayed as a quasi-sacred process that makes science our most objective truth teller. Any science that rejects peer review endangers their very classification as a science. For example, peer review is a precondition for indexing in biomedical databases such as PubMed. For taxonomy to reject traditional peer review, it will need an exceptionally convincing case that the alternative will substantially improve quaUty and drive-up standards.
