  • Customer or tacit knowledge has limitations of ensuring uniform quality due to differences in personal experiences and skills. Working with national and organizational standards, standards for facilities and equipment related to the SWM have been prepared. In addition, water management technologies and concepts of standards were established to develop products in conjunction with market standards. These were classified through the ISP system.
    Conceptual Map of STEP-ISP Classification by Characteristics of Technology
    • Hardware technology (facilities and devices)
    • Software or system related to operation of a facility
    • Documents describing technological activities
      • Classification by Characteristics of Standards
        • Design and Construction Standards
          • standards for design and construction of infrastructures, products, and devices as well as for construction specification
        • Planning and Operation Standards
          • Software Standards: development method and guideline for model modularization
          • Information Standards: time-series database standard specification and web service database manual
        • Operation Standards
          • standardized manual of operation and management knowhow
