Study and Construction of the Rock Engineering Data Exchange and Sharing Framework

Abstract:

Data exchange and sharing is a key issue in the current informatization of rock engineering, and its advancement is constrained by various factors, particularly distributed heterogeneous environment and the lack of uniform data exchange formats. To address this need this paper presents the Rock Engineering data Exchange and sharing Framework (REEF), which adopts service-oriented architecture (SOA) and uses the rock engineering markup language (REML) as the standard exchange language. This REEF framework covers the main functions of data exchange and sharing in its domain, which can be used as the universal solution to reduce the difficulty of the industrial integration of rock engineering, and it provides support to the standardization and digitization in the field.
