ISO 15926 and the CFIHOS specify the relationship between Tag Management and Document Management in engineering capital projects.

The planning, delivery and control of engineering documents is based on tag libraries that represent the physical objects of a plant. Plant/asset documents describe these physical object. Hence, they have a relationship to those objects.

Maintaining the relationship of engineering document with physical object and their tag numbers has a lot of advantages. It allows users to search and brows documents by the tag hierarchy. It provides the ability to perform quality and completeness checks, and it provides the option to generate “Hot Spots” in drawings and models as a link to the related documents.
