A brief history of early product data exchange standards

Abstract: The following paper traces the history of product data exchange standards from the physical model through electronic representations such as IGES. This paper provides an understanding of the early efforts leading to ISO 10303-STandard for the Exchange of Product model data (STEP), but does not cover STEP'S development.

“…As the name suggests, the Initial Graphics Exchange Specification (IGES) was one of the first attempts to create a vendor-neutral exchange format for CAD. It arose from a meeting of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) in late 1979, where industrial CAD customers, frustrated with their inability to transfer CAD data between tools and their internal systems, challenged a group of CAD vendors to develop a common exchange mechanism (Goldstein, Kemmerer and Parks, 1998). Circumstances were such at that meeting that the idea gained traction and a project was funded almost immediately to draw up an exchange specification and file format.…”

“…One of the most successful standardization efforts toward integration began in 1979 and continues to this day with the activities of TC184/SC4. At that time, NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology, USA) began work in establishing standards for the exchange of engineering drawing elements, beginning with IGES (Goldstein 1998), that has evolved through several iterations into IS 10303 and its many application protocol (AP) parts (Kemmerer 1999). Today IS 10303, known as STEP by many practitioners, is a robust foundation for the exchange of information about product components and, increasingly, system attributes codified as data elements.…”
