Abstract Product data exchange between heterogeneous CAD/CAM/PDM systems is an issue for the integration of production systems. STEP offers a mechanism of product data exchange between heterogeneous systems. This paper introduces a UML-based mapping methodology for the product data exchange. The suggested mapping methodology has been applied to two different mappings. One is a mapping for the data exchange between a CAD and a PDM system. The other is the STEP to XML mapping for the information communication on the Internet.

Abstract This paper presents a case study in the use of the Internet as a medium for exchange of information and delivery of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) capability. The case study describes a collaboration among researchers and staff at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and Thar Designs, Inc., a small business in Pittsburgh, PA that designs and sells high-pressure fluid pumps. The objective of this case study is to identify the needs of small businesses in engineering industry in the area of Internet-based CAD/CAM services. The Internet-based interaction performed in this study encompassed various stages in an iterative product development process, consisting of design, data exchange, manufacturability analysis, and fabrication of a prototype.

In the paper, the main research topic is product data exchange of each heterogeneous systems in the process of collaborative design and manufacturing under the condition of mass customization.Based on the research for existing technology of product model information sharing and conversion,put forward the solution to combine STEP with XML,completed product data transfer and exchange among web-based cooperation enterprises. Also,it was researched how to express EXPRESS data model to XML, as well as its application in the network environment, the function of converting STEP Part21 physical file to XML file was realized.

The application of computer-aided design (CAD) and manufacturing (CAM) techniques in the marine industry has increased significantly in recent years. With more individual designers and shipyards using CAD within their organizations, the pressure to transfer CAD data between organizations has also increased. The Navy/Industry Digital Data Exchange Standards Committee (NIDDESC) provides a mechanism for public and private organizations to cooperate in the development of digital data transfer techniques. Organizationally, NIDDESC is a cost-sharing venture between private firms and government organizations. This effort arose from the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) in cooperation with the National Shipbuilding Research Program. The members include leading professionals in the marine industry from several major design firms, private shipyards, naval shipyards, and government laboratories. All members are directly involved in CAD/CAM in their organizations and together represent a broad spectrum of experience and perspectives. NIDDESC has many subcommittees devoted to specific areas of digital data transfer. The basic objective is to develop an industry-wide consensus on product data models for ship structure and distribution systems. Efforts include contributions to the Initial Graphics Exchange Standard, the Product Data Exchange Standard, preparation of a Recommended Practices Manual and the analysis of ship production data flows. NIDDESC has made contributions to the development of CALS standards, including MIL-STD-1840, DOD-IGES, SGML, and MIL-D-28000.

Recently, product data management systems (PDM) are widely used to conduct complex multidisciplinary projects in various industrial domains. The PDM systems enable teams of designers, engineers, and managers to remotely communicate on a network, exchange and share common product information. To integrate CAD/CAM/CAE applications with the PDM systems and ensure their interoperability, a dedicated family of standards STEP (ISO 10303) has been developed and employed. The STEP defines an object-oriented language EXPRESS to formally specify information schemas as well as file formats to store and transfer product data driven by these schemas. These are clear text encoding format SPF and STEP-XML. Nowadays, with the development and widespread adoption of Web technologies, the JSON language is getting increasingly popular due to it being apropos for the tasks of object-oriented data exchange and storage, as well as its simple, easy to parse syntax. The paper explores the topic of the suitability of the JSON language for the unambiguous representation, storage and interpretation of product data. Under the assumption that the product data can be described by arbitrary information schemas in EXPRESS, formal rules for the producing JSON notation are proposed and presented. Explanatory examples are provided to illustrate the proposed rules. The results of computational experiments conducted confirm the advantages of the JSON format compared to SPF and STEP-XML, and motivate its widespread adoption when integrating software applications.

The Internet of Things is beginning to play an increasingly important role in information technologies, in industrial production and in everyday life and in. The Internet of things is a concept of a network of objects that involves the exchange of data between devices - "things". Such data exchange doesnt often involve human participation, or it is minimized. The person acts as a process designer or a user. An important task for the humanities is the rethinking of Internet of things phenomenon. The Internet of things is an interesting ontological phenomenon, within which takes place the transformation of the being of modern man. On the one hand, a person releases time and energy for his own development in directions related to creativity and doesnt care about "things" - objects and devices that lead an autonomous "life". On the other hand, to some extent, the person himself, being involved in the technological and information universe, becomes a "thing" and loses many dimensions of his ontological potencies. The modern man lives in conditions of multi-layered existence. Modern information technologies, and, in particular, the Internet of things, symptomatically fix the split of human existence on the one hand, and its diversity on the other. One of the important tasks of modern philosophy is to develop approaches to the analysis of the man’s ontological foundations in modern informational and technological world.

Connecting to the  electronic information network (internet) became the most characteristic that distinguish this era However , the long hours which young men daily spend on the internet On the other hand ,there are many people who are waiting for the chance to talk and convince them with their views This will lead the young people to be part in the project of the “cyber armies “that involved with states and terrorist organizations  This project has been able  to recruitment hundreds of people every day to work in its rank . It is very difficult to control these websites because we can see the terrorist presence in all its forms in the internet   In addition there are many incubation environments that feed in particular the young people minds                                                                                         Because they are suffering from the lack of social justice Also the unemployment, deprivation , social and political repression So , that terrorist organizations can attract young people through the internet by convincing them to their views and ideas . So these organizations will enable to be more  stronger.

Interrelations of two types of communication cultures are considered: books and information. A formula of intelligence and intellectuality, allowing to reveal principles of book communication (The Gutenberg Galaxy) and of digitized information communication (The McLuhan Galaxy) is offered. Functioning of the Internet as the main stream of the McLuhan Galaxy is reviewed in detail.
