This ontology models the international standard NEN-ISO/IEC 19770-1:2018 regarding IT asset management. NEN-ISO/IEC 19770-1:2018 itself provides a framework for implementing and managing IT asset management systems within organizations and is published by the Dutch standards organization NEN. The NEN standard offers terms and definitions for key concepts, including assets, data, hardware, software, and their management. The ontology in turn models these terms and definitions through the use of the SKOS-vocabulary, making these terms interoperable, easily referenceable, and shareable within information technology systems and documentation. This supports the adoption of the NEN-ISO/IEC 19770-1:2018 standard and enhances its integration with other standards and IT asset management practices. The ontology itself, although modeling an official standard, has an informal status. It is published by the Dutch Ministry of Finance, with the kind approval of the NEN.
This ontology captures the terms and concepts used in the international standard NEN-ISO/IEC 19770-1:2018 regarding IT asset management. Each term is represented as a SKOS concept and grouped into a SKOS scheme. Concepts include assets, data, hardware, software, and their associated management processes. The ontology defines these terms with preferred labels, definitions, and identifiers, ensuring ease of use, reference, and sharing across information systems. Here is an example of one such concept:
