This bulletin provides a compendium of methodologies and considerations for integrating the underlying data used to support integrity management. Any one approach, let alone the entirety of the document, may not be appropriate or applicable in all circumstances. The document reviews possible approaches for consideration by operators in the context of their specific circumstances.
The primary focus of this bulletin is the methodologies and processes used to spatially integrate and normalize the data to support the application of comparative techniques used in interpreting integrity data, with particular emphasis on in-line inspection (ILI) data. The document begins with a discussion of general data quality processes, goals, and considerations such that data quality approaches can be considered in the context of the data integration processes.
