Workshop benefits

The workshop will provide attendees with practical advice on data integration and sharing problems. Emphasis will be placed on environments where the product/project lifecycle is orders of magnitude longer than those of software solutions, e.g. aerospace/defence, shipbuilding and process industries. In particular:

• A thorough understanding of the data exchange, migration, sharing and integration problems, including:

• Why they arise

• Why they continue to be widespread

• What can be done to solve them 

• Best practice for managing product information, including:  

• Practical tips and potential pitfalls to avoid 

• Perceptions and realities about data exchange 

• Capabilities, constraints and limitations of different approaches to data integration and sharing 

• Walk through typical data and information integration scenarios, including:

• How to derive maximum value from investment in product information

• How can standards such as PLCS (ISO 10303 - AP 239) can be used effectively
