1. A system configured to monitor and/or control one or more chemical plant(s) including at least one processing layer, wherein the at least one processing layer includes a first processing layer and a second processing layer,
wherein the at least one processing layer is associated with a secure network and communicatively coupled to an interface for providing process or asset specific data to an external processing layer, wherein the at least one processing layer is configured to add a transfer tag to the process or asset specific data and to provide the process or asset specific data based on the transfer tag, wherein the second processing layer includes an intermediate processing system and a process management system, the intermediate processing system is configured to collect process or asset specific data provided by the first processing layer, the process management system is configured to provide plant specific data of one or more chemical plant(s) to the interface, process or asset specific data refers to data relating to a specific asset or process and contextualized with respect to such specific asset or process, the contextualization of the process or asset specific data relates to context available on the first processing layer, plant specific data refers to process or asset specific data that is contextualized with respect to one or more plant(s), the contextualization of the plant specific data relates to context available on the second processing layer, plant specific data refers to contextualized process or asset specific data.
