Abstract:
1. A data processing system for managing and exchanging data relating to a technical project, a technical installation or individual installation components, over a network data-processing system, the system comprising: a first processing device executing a first tool that generates data in a first data format, wherein the data of the first processing device is mapped to a first mapping table; a second processing device executing a second tool that generates data in a second data format, wherein the data of the second processing device is mapped to a second mapping table; a conversion device that receives the data in the first format from the first processing device, generates data in a standardized data format based on the data in the first data format received from the first processing device, transforms the data in the standardized data format into data associated with the second data format of the second processing device, and stores the data generated in the standardized data format as a data file, wherein when a value of an attribute stored in the data file changes, the conversion device marks each mapping table having a reference to the attribute, and wherein at least one of the first and second processing devices associated with a marked mapping table, marks the data file of the conversion device to indicate that the changed attribute has been installed in the associated marked mapping table of the at least one first and second processing devices.
