The product data interchange for the maritime information society

Objective

The objective of SEA-NET is to create the virtual-enterprise-wide, internet-based product data management (PDM) system that will enable all maritime enterprises to take full advantage of STEP standardisation. It will be independent of any one software vendor and will use thin client technology. It will create a data exchange and management architecture capable of supporting virtual enterprises and speeding information exchange between collaborative partners involved with all stages of the ship lifecycle. It will thus be a crucial step in bringing about commerce at light speed in the maritime industry.

The technical objective is the creation of an infrastructure (architecture) to support a distributed product data management and exchange environment over the internet for the shipping industry. This environment will also supply integrated workflow tools and EDI messaging. The ESPRIT project SEASPRITE will provide the underlying CORBA data structure by creating a distributed network system which SEA-NET software modules will integrate with. The Internet will for the backbone of the network providing the basic communication structure over which CORBA messages are sent and web pages accessed. Attached to the Internet will be PDM servers which for the core of the SEA-NET architecture. These will control the access to the information held by partners in data vaults of different varieties. The PDM servers apply product data management methods to all data stored and will have advanced security features based around encryption and firewalls to protect the sensitive commercial data stored in the network.
