Step Standard

The first Technical Note in this series [1] introduced the international standard ISO 10303, informally known as STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data). Subsequent Technical Notes discussed various issues faced by users of STEP and how the ISO TC184/SC4 committee is addressing these issues. This article discusses the representation of STEP data using the Extensible Markup Language (XML). We begin by presenting XML’s advantages as an exchange medium for STEP. We then discuss some of the issues involved in designing an XML exchange mechanism for STEP and conclude with an update of SC4’s STEP/XML activities.

Step Standard

The first Technical Note in this series [1] introduced the international standard ISO 10303, informally known as STEP (STandard for the Exchange of Product model data). Subsequent Technical Notes discussed various issues faced by users of STEP and how the ISO TC184/SC4 committee is addressing these issues. This paper presents the current move to modularize the STEP application protocol architecture. This paper describes the initial STEP architecture, requirements for improvements to the architecture, features of the new modular architecture, status and issues.

This paper presents the purpose, approach, goals and progress of the tasks that make up the standard for a digital Ship Product Model. The Navy/Industry Digital Data Exchange Standards Committee (NIDDESC) Standards will be a part of the Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data (STEP) International Standard. The STEP standard has a layered architecture in which basic core definitions are used by many industry and product specific standards such as the NIDDESC Standards.

Abstract:A Template Definition Language (TDL) was developed to share knowledge of how to construct an electronic patient record (EPR) template. Based on the extensible markup language XML, TDL has been designed to be independent of EPR platforms or databases. Our research of TDL was conducted through evaluation of the description of various templates in the currently available EPRs and through comparisons with some electronic clinical guidelines. We conclude that TDL is sufficient for the objective but still needs improvement of the algorithm for describing dynamic changes.
