Methodology for an implementation of the STEP standard: a Java prototype
The ISO standard STEP (standard for the exchange of product model data) provides a complete representation of a product, along with a description language, EXPRESS, and methods for the exchange of these product data. This paper presents the methodology that was adopted for creating a prototype of an electromagnetism-dedicated database manager, meant to support STEP compliant data exchange. The STEP architecture and its mechanisms will be described. The use of the described methodology in a Java application will be discussed.
