The Data Exchange & Data Integration issue

1. Standard engineering terminology is needed - There is no standard electronic Business/Engineering dictionary available
Ecl@ss, Rosettanet, Trade Ranger, UNSPSC, , STEPlib / ISO 15926-4 All proprietary data and based on proprietary data models

2.

Data structures are problematic - Data models are different and proprietary: communication barriers - Data models are domain specific: e.g. ISO 10303 (STEP), ISO 13584 (PLIB) - Data models are inflexible, fixed patterns rather than a full language

3.

Generic standard data models are difficult to implement

- E.g. ISO 10303-221 (AP221), ISO 15926-2

4.

XML does not provide standardization of application data

- Neither data modeling languages nor data models define application terms - E.g. UML, XML-schema, EXPRESS

- https://sourceforge.net/projects/gellish
contains the Gellish English language definition with Dictionary / Taxonomy / Knowledge base with engineering terminology

2.

Gellish Forum - Quality assurance - Application support Based on and including concepts from - ISO 10303, 15926, 13584, 12006. - IEC 60050, ISO 31, ISO 1000, ISO 1131-3, ISO 1998 and various other sources.
