Data exchange standards

The data model of the flowsheet editor is closely related to the partial models Chemical Process and Plant of the conceptual IMPROVE product data model (see Sect. 2.2). Its design was also influenced by emerging data exchange standards in chemical engineering (e.g. the process data exchange interface standard PDXI in the STEP context [623]). 

Knowledge database and intelligent agents assimilating sensor-measurement-information data, data exchange standards (XML, etc.) representation of uncertainties in databases, building and supporting physical property archives (NIST, Webbook, etc.) collaborative environments... 

The Analytical Instruments Association (AIA) is a trade organization of manufacturers of analytical laboratory instruments and related products and services in the field of chemical and biomolecular analysis. A task group set up by the AIA investigated the requirement for a data exchange standard between laboratory instruments and reported that such a development would benefit both the users and the vendors themselves. 

The first data exchange standard developed by the AIA Committee on Communications Standards was for chromatography data sets, as this was assumed to be the simplest of the techniques to be encoded ). Further committees have worked on MS and IR spectroscopy. One major advantage of the approach of the AIA is that it has been driven from top management, and as such has had the neces.sary resources... 

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.

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. 

With the increase in licensing agreements between pharmaceutical companies, safety data frequently needs to be exchanged between one or more parties. If the case volume is sufficient, it is worth considering electronic data exchange between the databases involved. In addition to preventing rekeying of data, this minimizes discrepancies between the data sets. With the adoption of proposed ICH standards in the future, this will become a much simpler process. 

The current structure of MedDRA is defined in Table 21.6. There will be a central maintenance organization responsible for development, user support, implementation and communication as well as an international user group. A management board will oversee the activities of the central maintenance organization with direction provided by the ICH Steering Committee. A standard medical dictionary will facilitate electronic data exchange between industry and regulatory authorities worldwide, as recommended by the ICH. 

The puipose of this t pendix is to establish a standard ftamat for the storage and transmittal of centrifugal pump data. This standard format is tdso known as the neutral data exchange file format ... 

Q.1.1 The role (tf this specification is somewhat different from the Stmidardized Electronic Database in the 7th Edition of API Standard 610. The data exchange file outlined in this specification extends beyond die scope of the API Standard 610 data sheets (Appendix B), such that data fields for virtually all pertinent centrifugal pump informaticHi are defined within this specification. This includes data fields that are part of the following ... 

The purpose of the qualification/audit is for the sponsor to investigate the standard practices of the contractor. Quality as well as technical capabilities should be evaluated. One should determine where the test article will actually be stored, the department that will conduct the in-life portion, make an assessment of procedures (SOPs) for dosing, identify differences between the sponsor s general practices and the facilities operating procedures (proto-col/study-specific procedures (SSPs), and assess the process of interim data exchange and the method of reporting of SOP and protocol deviations to the study director and the sponsor. 

The described approach has been already applied when developing a coastal mobile hardware complex [11]. Software and hardware support of this complex comprises a database on standard documents in the radiation protection area reference databases on radiation-hazardous facihties, persotmel and equipment of emergency-rescue teams of Rosatom, digital map bank, computer systems for on-hne forecast and measurement of the radiation situation parameters, different data-exchange communication channels, etc. 

The International Society for Measurement and Control (ISA) has published the S88.02 standard titled Batch Control Part 2 Data Structures and Language Guidelines, which provides standardized data exchange and user interface formats between competing batch systems. 

Model interfaces include many aspects of the interoperability of NWP/MM and ACTM models. Modular coding is advocated in order to ease implementation of different algorithms/routines serving the same purpose. Ensuring common standards for data exchange are also important.
