Controlled CFIHOS 2.0 engineering handover

See Engineering Deliverables and Handover for how CFIHOS staging fits with the canonical engineering graph, DEXPI exchanges, registers, package validation, approvals, and revision control.

CFIHOS 2.0 was published as a major release in November 2025. It provides Core and Extended Reference Data Library deliveries, an updated data model and dictionary, implementation guides, and supporting templates. The standard separates the information requirements, data model, implementation guidance, RDL, and software requirements used to specify, validate, stage, map, and transfer project information.

NeqSim implements the controlled staging part of that workflow. It does not bundle CFIHOS RDL content, invent RDL identifiers, reproduce a Principal information requirements, or claim CFIHOS conformance. Cfihos20HandoverExporter maps the canonical EngineeringGraph through an explicit project-owned RDL mapping and produces deterministic CSV and JSON evidence for target-system transformation by the Principal.

Required mapping controls

Cfihos20ReferenceDataMapping records:

Use verifiedSource, not a copied digest, for release evidence:

Cfihos20ReferenceDataMapping mapping = Cfihos20ReferenceDataMapping
    .builder(Cfihos20ReferenceDataMapping.Edition.CORE)
    .verifiedSource("urn:company:cfihos:2.0:core:project-rev-c", controlledRdlFile)
    .approvedBy("Project Information Manager", "MAPPING-REV-C")
    .mapNode("equipment:20-vg-001", exactTagClassId, exactEquipmentClassId)
    .mapProperty("designPressure", exactPropertyId, exactUomId)
    .mapDocument("20-VG-001-datasheet.pdf", exactDocumentTypeId)
    .build();

Cfihos20HandoverExporter.Result result =
    Cfihos20HandoverExporter.export(graph, mapping, outputDirectory);
if (!result.getReport().isReadyForPrincipalTransformation()) {
  throw new IllegalStateException(result.getReport().getFindings().toString());
}

The API validates identity presence and mapping controls, but it cannot decide whether an identifier is semantically correct for a project. That decision belongs to the approved RDL mapping and the Principal information-management review.

Staging package

File Purpose
cfihos-tags.csv Functional tag identity, description, exact tag class, project, and revision
cfihos-equipment.csv Physical equipment identity, exact equipment class, and realized tag
cfihos-properties.csv Scalar values mapped to exact property and UOM identifiers
cfihos-documents.csv Document identity, type, title, and controlled file reference
cfihos-relationships.csv Canonical graph relationships plus equipment-realizes-tag links
cfihos-unmapped.csv Every unclassified node, document, or optional scalar property
cfihos-20-assessment.json Counts, findings, mapping evidence, file digests, and readiness decision
cfihos-20-manifest.json Ordered inventory and SHA-256 digest for every staged payload

The CSV column set is the versioned NEQSIM_CONTROLLED_CFIHOS_2_0_STAGING_V1 profile. It is intentionally a neutral staging shape, not an official or vendor-specific bulk-loader template. The Principal must transform it to the contracted CFIHOS exchange templates and target-system schema.

Fail-closed decisions

The assessment is INCOMPLETE when:

Unmapped scalar properties are retained in the gap register as warnings because the Principal contractual data requirements determine whether each property is required. A production release must reconcile those warnings against the project requirement matrix; absence of a blocker is not proof of contractual completeness.

Both JSON files state:

These controls prevent a deterministic export from being mistaken for information acceptance, operational readiness, or construction authorization.

Industrial handover sequence

  1. Freeze the CFIHOS 2.0 Core or Extended RDL delivery and calculate its digest.
  2. Derive the project information requirement matrix and contract deliverable scope.
  3. Approve exact node, property, UOM, and document mappings.
  4. Compile the canonical engineering graph and export the staging package.
  5. Close every blocker and reconcile every optional-property warning with the requirement matrix.
  6. Transform to the Principal templates and validate in the named staging/target system.
  7. Record review comments, load receipts, rejected records, accepted revisions, and final handover authority outside NeqSim.
