Semantic Checking between Maintenance Systems
The planned project examines which semantic errors in data exchange between maintenance systems can be detected beforehand using explicit schema and unit rules.
Problem
Fields with the same name can carry different units or state meanings. Such differences easily go unnoticed in data exchange until incorrect values have already been adopted.
Research question
Which errors can be detected before an exchange by means of explicit schema and unit rules? Equally of interest is where such rules reach their limits.
Method
The plan provides for two fictitious maintenance data models, mapping rules and deliberately faulty sample data. The work is intended to take place on the interface workbench.
Evaluation criteria
The planned assessment covers the detection coverage of a documented error catalogue, false warnings and manual correction effort. The project has not yet started; neither results nor publications exist.
Expected outcome
A mapping catalogue is expected. It carries no general interoperability guarantee, and no results exist in the scenario yet.
Limits
No real manufacturer protocols are used, and no product certification takes place.
Publications
This project has no publication at the snapshot date.
