Abstract

In this paper the theory of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is applied to the safety case management domain in order to evaluate its benefits and to assess the potential issues which relate to data exchange within certain industry sectors. The work is undertaken to establish best practise and to examine successful techniques identified by other researches in the area of XML/EDI and to implement them in data transmission from a safety case management tool based on MS Visio to the Integrated Safety Case Development Environment (ISCaDE) residing on a Dynamic Object Oriented Requirements System (DOORS) database. Goal Structuring Notation (GSN) and its XML dialect Goal Structuring Mark-up Language (GSML) developed at the University of York is used as messaging specifications to represent the safety case model. Furthermore, these specifications are used to build EDI software to transport data across different safety packages.
