Call for Standardization in Material Behavior Assessment Systems Output Formats

The paper will present the DaCoTraP project in development that contains the critical part that requires the standardization support. Then a few experiment types will be detailed and we try to offer a solution to the problem. To define a generic mechanism that extracts specific parts of differently structured data, in our case experiment data, requires the invention of a new markup language. Fortunately such a language exists since 1950, it is very powerful and well documented [1] and it is used to manipulate text and data. Unfortunately this language is extremely complex and we cannot expect the users of the system, who are mostly lab assistants with training only in the field of metallurgy and with no programming experience at all, to define these patterns by themselves. If the experiment results were defined in files with strict and standard formatting rules, a very rigid and simple toolset could be defined and put to the users‟ disposal. 2. DACOTRAP PLATFORM
