What does DMIS stand for?

It's not a show-stopper, but interested in what the acronym stand for. My CMM-101 instructor did not know.

    Patent Chokers - Doomed Many Inventors Searching


    and more from AndersI's article link:
    The problems inherent in any translation are best demonstrated by CMM software that has DMIS Export-Out and DMIS Import-In capabilities. As the CMM reads in its own exported DMIS, the result can be surprisingly bad. This poor performance has given DMIS a bad name. Also unfortunate is the common use of brand-specific DMIS, which is created when a CMM software supplier modifies DMIS to fit into an existing product. "Flavored" DMIS is not DMIS, and it shouldn't be used.

    Although the next-generation CMM software currently in development will most likely embrace the full DMIS standard, some manufacturers continue to claim that DMIS doesn't provide adequate power for the more sophisticated metrology applications. Such claims are usually made by misinformed sales representatives trying to sell obsolete software rather than satisfy their customers' needs.


    Wow. That article was from 1999. Here we are 20 years later, and from what I gather, importing an other vendor's CMM program is as jumbled as it ever was. Rolling eyes
