Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for managing and exchanging data relating to an automation project. The automation project has a data-processing system with a conversion device that converts data from at least one proprietary data format into a standardized data format, and vice versa. The conversion device uses at least one data assignment to assign at least one first piece of information, given in the standardized data format, to a second piece of information, given in the proprietary format, and/or vice versa. In addition, the conversion device is configured to locate at least one first piece of information, given in the proprietary data format, the corresponding data assignment assigned to it from among the data assignments that are present, and based on the located data assignment, transform the proprietary first piece of information into a standardized second piece of information specified in the data assignment, or vice versa.

Abstract: System and method for managing and exchanging data relating to a technical project, a technical installation and/or individual installation components, in particular relating to an automation project, which has a data-processing system (2) with a conversion device (4) for converting data from at least one proprietary data format into a standardized data format, and vice versa. By means of the conversion device (4), using at least one data assignment, at least one, first piece of information, given in the standardized data format, is assigned a second piece of information, given in the proprietary format, and/or vice versa.
