2.6.4 An Initial Application of AP-233

The System Engineering Design Methodologies (SEDM) project is concerned with potential avenues to exploit the AP-233 system engineering data exchange standard. The project is a joint venture between the System Engineering and Evaluation Centre of the University of South Australia and BAE SYSTEMS Australia. The work described in this paper covers the design and implementation of an import interface from the AP-233 data model to DOORS. The project showed that AP-233 is an effective medium for tool independent transfer of systems engineering information.
