Product data technology provides the means to between n systems. Upgrading any system means specify engineering data so that it can be communicated efficiently between computerised that all the translators have to be upgraded, and operations at all stages of the life cycle of a any transmitting system does not know if a receivmanufactured product, from conceptual design ing system has the appropriate translator.through to disposal and recycling. Product data * The use of identical computer platforms and technology also enables property data relating to software: this is extremely expensive. Supply chain modern materials to be fully integrated with all the companies may have to have a diVerent system for other engineering data for a manufactured product

A review of composite product data interoperability and product life-cycle management challenges is presented, which addresses "Product Life-cycle Management", developments in materials. The urgent need for this is illustrated by the life-cycle management issues faced in modern military aircraft, where in-service failure of composite parts is a problem, not just in terms of engineering understanding, but also in terms of the process for managing and maintaining the fleet. A demonstration of the use of ISO 10303-235 for a range of through-life composite product data is reported. The standardization of the digital representation of data can help businesses to automate data processing. With the development of new materials, the requirements for data information models for materials properties are evolving, and standardization drives transparency, improves the efficiency of data analysis, and enhances data accuracy. Current developments in Information Technology, such as big data analytics methodologies, have the potential to be highly transformative.
