Interoperability best practices: The ongoing problems of sharing engineering data

Abstract

Few single issues present a more formidable impediment to effective innovation and rapid product development than the problem of effectively communicating and exchanging digital engineering data. Studies undertaken over the past decade, as CAD has become widespread, have repeatedly highlighted the enormous costs, time wasted, and mistakes made due to interoperability problems.
