On May 13, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) released the Guiding Opinions on Developing Industrial Big Data, which proposed a series of work tasks in terms of data aggregation, sharing, application, governance, and security, aiming to promote the development of the industrial big data industry.

 

 

In terms of standardization, this document proposes the following:

  • Set standards for evaluating the application level of industrial big data.
  • Promote the national standard GB/T 36073-2018 Data Management Capability Maturity Assessment Model, and guide enterprises to improve data management capabilities.
  • Strengthen the construction of the industrial big data standards system and accelerate the development of key standards in areas like data quality, data governance and data security.

 

The standardization work of China’s industrial big data is mainly carried out by the TC28/Big Data Working Group, which proposed the industrial big data standards system.

Driven by industry demand and the policies of building the standards systems for smart manufacturing and industrial internet, China’s industrial big data standardization has made some progress: a number of standards are being developed or have been completed for industrial big data terminology, reference architecture, interconnectivity, platforms and tools, etc. However, in terms of full life cycle processing, data quality and security, application services, and application areas, there is still a gap between the supply and demand of standards, which is also reflected in this policy document.

 

In addition, voluntary standards should be selected and used by the market on a voluntary basis. Promoting GB/T 36073-2018 through government policy would probably make this standard a de facto mandatory standard in the industry and impede fair competition.
