1. A method for operating a machine tool, comprising:
provide a generic first data model of the machine tool without describing details of the machine tool at a server device that is external to the machine tool;
provide engineering data to the external server device, wherein the engineering data contains information specifically related to the machine tool and knowledge of the machine tool;
generate a user query regarding an operation of the machine tool to the external server device, the user query containing technical data related to a process to be performed by the machine tool;
translate and/or modify, by the external server device, taking into account the technical data in the user query and the engineering data, the generic first data model into a second data model in response to the user query;
compile the second data model by the external server device so that the second data model can be executed on the machine tool;
integrate the compiled second data model into an app by the external server device;
transfer the app from the external server device to a machine-specific Internet-of-Things (IoT) extension of the machine tool;
access the app by a control unit of the machine tool via a data bus of the machine tool; and
operate the machine tool in accordance with the compiled second data model integrated in the app, thereby unburdening the machine tool from translating and/or modifying the generic first data model during operation of the machine tool.
