Data exchange

ProcGen generates a scaled 3D model of the test specimen geometry, in the form of a faceted boundary representation. This model is made available for use by other software tasks in the system. The STEP file format (the ISO standard for product data exchange) was chosen to provide future compatibility with CAD models produced externally. In particular part 204 (faceted b-rep) of this standard is used. 

ROSDAL is used in the Beilstein-DIALOG system [17] as a data exchange format. The code can represent not only full structures and substructures but also some generic structures.

Molfile, SDfile, and PDB-file are the most popular data exchange formats. 

According to an elegant remark by Davies [5], "Modem scientific data handling is multitechnique, multisystem, and manufacturer-independent, with results being processed remotely from the measuring apparatus. Indeed, data exchange and storage are steps of the utmost importance in the data acquisition pathway. The simplest way to store data is to define some special format (i.e., collection of rules) of a flat file. Naturally, one cannot overestimate the importance of databases, which are the subject of Chapter 5 in this book. Below we discuss three simple, yet efficient, data formats. 

For the data exchange between the airflow and the thermal model, sevenil levels can be distinguished ... 

Input is required for both the thermal model and the airflow model. Input parameters are identical to the ones outlined for the thermal model in Section 11.3.3 and for the airflow model in Section 11.4.3. Depending on the data-exchange mode, additional information on the data links between thermal and airflow models must be given.

The idea is to provide one way and one place for the regulated community to exchange electronic documents with EPA. The CDX may also provide the platform for State-EPA data exchanges. As with the provisions of the proposed rule, the features and functions of CDX described above will generally be inapplicable to these State-EPA exchanges. 

Because XML is an open standard, many industries are developing open standards for XML data exchange. CDISC is the organization leading XML data standardization for the clinical trial industry. 

On occasion you will need to export your SAS data as ASCII text. You may find that the recipient of your data requires that you send some form of delimited ASCII text, because that is all their software can read. In fact, delimited ASCII text is a primitive data exchange format that almost any software can read. 

Once you have your SAS data ready for transport, you need to determine a means to deliver it. There are many ways to send data, but you should strive for process simplicity and data security. To keep your data secure and to comply with 21 CFR-Part 11, you need to encrypt your data files for transport. The best encryption you can use is key exchange high-bit encryption software such as PGP, which creates essentially unbreakable files when used properly. Once your data files are encrypted, you can either send them on physical media such as CD-ROM or send them electronically with secure transmission software such as Secure File Transport Protocol (SFTP). If you need to send data to someone once, a CD-ROM is simple enough to produce. However, if you need to send the data repeatedly, then you should use a more automated electronic method of data exchange. Shell scripts and batch files can be written to automate the electronic data transfer process. 

Electronic data exchange is the enabler for these building blocks as manual data administration is error-prone, time-consuming and costly.
