STEP databases and EXPRESS


Description

STEP/EXPRESS is a new ISO-Standard (ISO 10303). STEP stands for "Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data" and allows the exchange of product data between CAx-applications. In the last years a lot of research on Engineering Databases has been done at the chair for database systems. Because STEP gives new opportunities for Engineering Databases it is one of our main research projects now.

An interesting research project has been made together with the SIEMENS-NMA Nürnberg (Nuremberg). See STEP feasibility study for details.

Translating EXPRESS to HTML is another project started at the Chair for Database Systems. EXPRESS schemas are translated into HTML Hypertext files. This allows to use advanced hypertext browsers like Mosaic to navigate in EXPRESS schemas. Follow the link to get more Information!

Some of the theses of our students (written in German) are available a PostScript versions. Take a look at our Overview.
