System and method for automated and structured transfer of technical documents and the management of the transferred documents in a database

摘要

A system and a method are disclosed for the automated and structured transfer of technical documents and the management of the transferred documents in a database of an engineering process or an engineering project with at least one data source, in which the documents are stored in electronic form. One or more structures for storing the documents are implemented in the database. The structures are identifiable by means of an assigned identification feature. The data source interacts with an assignment module, which allocates each document a document identification number for unique assignment into one of the structures of the database. The data source further interacts with a sort module, which files the documents dependent on their document identification number in the structure identifiable by the identification feature in the database, and makes the documents available for further processing.
