Data exchange standards are standardised electronic file format specifications used to exchange data between different software applications. These have been developed and evaluated by standard-developing organisations (Conover et al., 2009). These organisations include international standard institutes such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) as well as regional or national organisations such as the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and the German Standards Institute (DIN). There are also a number of standards that have been developed by independent groups such as Electronic Business Extensible Markup Language (ebXML) (Grilo and Jardim-Goncalves, 2010).

The data exchange can be defined as a method of conversion of data from one system (with its own data format) to the format compatible with the other receiving system. For example, a given design file has to be exported and imported through various CAD systems before the final is made available for manufacturing. As shown in Figure 4.1, the data exchange process begins with a CAD model exported from CATIA as STEP A203. This file (STEP A203) is translated to produce an AP224 data file that can be read by MASTERCAM. Finally, MASTERCAM generates an AP238 file containing the information related to the geometry, feature, and toolpath for the machine controller [3,4].

Some major port authorities (e.g. Rotterdam)3 are also developing research on several aspects related to this field, namely ETA prediction, nautical traffic management, smart ships, intelligent barge port stays, blockchain applications in shipping and synchromodality. All these areas have in common the fact that electronic data exchange is required between collaborating electronic systems, enabling through data analysis the derivation of benefits in terms of optimization of transport parameters, improved assets capacity utilization, greater reliability and increased transparency.
A Generalized Numerical/Experimental Distributed Simulation Framework
Published in Journal of Earthquake Engineering, 2020
Data-exchange format defines a structure of serialized data to be transmitted between two modules. Involving diverse IMs and substructure modules, the simulation framework should use the same data-exchange format for all communication. For different communication purposes, however, the type and size of data may vary dramatically. For example, one module can send target values, such as displacements in pseudo-dynamic simulations, and a combination of displacements and velocities in real-time hybrid simulations. Therefore, the data-exchange format must be standardized in such a way that it is compatible with various simulation purposes.
