Abstract: A software data interface technique allows a program to retrieve data from another program, whether or not data formats employed by the two programs are mutually compatible. An application-independent data format, Fexchange, is a priori agreed upon and readable by creators of the two programs. In the course of storing data during execution of a first program, that data file is augmented to include instructions that convert the format of the data into the application-independent intermediate data format, Fexchange. During execution of the second program, whenever access of data stored in the first program is required, the second program retrieves from the first data file instructions for converting the format of the data to the application-independent intermediate data format, Fexchange. The second program then executes the conversion instructions so as to retrieve the data from the first program.

Abstract translation: 软件数据接口技术允许程序从另一个程序检索数据，无论两个程序采用的数据格式是否相互兼容。 独立于应用程序的数据格式，F＆lt;交换＆lt; / SUB＆gt;是两个程序的创建者先验同意和可读的。 在执行第一程序期间存储数据的过程中，该数据文件被扩充以包括将数据的格式转换成与应用无关的中间数据格式的交换。 在第二程序的执行期间，当需要存储在第一程序中的数据的访问时，第二程序从第一数据文件检索用于将数据的格式转换为与应用无关的中间数据格式的交换指令 。 然后，第二程序执行转换指令，以从第一程序检索数据。
