This thesis explores the process of converting existing PDF calibration certificates into a structured and machine-readable XML format in accordance with the PTB~DCC internal standard. The aim was to identify an effective way to transform existing paper or PDF certificates into a format that enables easier searching, archiving, integration with laboratory information systems, and reduction of errors during manual data entry.
The theoretical part outlines the main features of the PTB~DCC internal standard, the role of the XSD schema in ensuring data consistency, and the importance of standardisation in metrology. The practical part describes the manual conversion of a selected certificates, where the data was parsed and mapped into appropriate XML elements in line with the official schema.
The results show that manual conversion allows a deeper understanding of the structure and content of the DCC certificate, but for larger document volumes, it would be advisable in the future to develop semi-automatic tools to speed up the process and reduce the possibility of errors. Such an approach could accelerate the digital transformation of laboratories and enhance the practical value of the collected data.
