In industry, product data exchange via STEP ISO 10303, is an established method. In case of heterogeneous CASE Tools, e.g. in Systems Engineering applications, it is very often difficult to guarantee a defined level of data quality. This paper analyses the state of data transformation and exchange as well as offering a solution for schema mapping and integration by means of a transformation report which can be used in systems engineering. The report records individual transformation steps, during the exchange, between two different tools. It supports the understanding of the data exchange process and helps to rectify incomplete or incorrect transformed data. The proposed framework was validated using gateways between the Statemate and Teamwork CASE tools.
