Java-Based XML Utility for the NIST Machine Tool Data Repository

Published

Abstract

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is developing a specification for a standard format to represent machine tool performance test data. This data is used for machine acceptance, predictive maintenance, error compensation, and to evaluate the capability of a machine or contractor to manufacture parts to specified tolerances. This paper describes the implementation of a Java based utility for converting data produced by several machine tool performance evaluation software packages into a unified Extensible Markup Language (XML) based standard data representation. The utility also provides XML based validation, viewing and editing capabilities, and a mechanism for client/server web based communications for database upload.
