Overview

ISO 10303-2:2024 is the First Edition (2024) vocabulary document for the ISO 10303 series (commonly known as STEP). Its primary purpose is to define the terms and definitions used throughout the ISO 10303 family to ensure consistent interpretation of product data representation and exchange concepts. The publication includes scope, normative references, and structured terminologies that support implementation, conformance testing, and interoperability across CAD, CAM, CAE and PLM systems.

Key topics and technical scope

This part of ISO 10303 specifies standardized vocabulary and resource entity data types across many technical domains, including:

  • General terms and structured glossaries for the ISO 10303 series
  • Terms related to data modelling languages: EXPRESS, EXPRESS‑X, and SysML
  • Terms for data access and XML representations of EXPRESS schemas and data
  • Conformance testing methodology and framework terminology
  • Domain-specific vocabularies for:
    • Geometric and topological representation (B-rep, faceted, non-manifold, surface types)
    • Product structure, configuration and concept
    • Material and engineering properties
    • Visual presentation and annotated 3D model criteria
    • Shape and geometric tolerances, process definitions, meshing and FEA terminology
    • Procedural and hybrid modelling, parameterization and constraints
  • A comprehensive list of ISO 10303 resource entity data types (action_schema, product_definition_schema, geometry_schema, material_property_schema, etc.) to standardize names and usage.

Practical applications and users

ISO 10303-2:2024 is essential for anyone implementing, integrating or testing STEP-based product data exchange:

  • CAD/CAM/CAE software developers and integrators seeking consistent term usage
  • PLM and digital thread architects aligning data models across systems
  • Systems engineers and modelers using EXPRESS, SysML or XML schema mappings
  • Quality, interoperability and conformance testing teams building test suites and certification criteria
  • Standards authors and implementers who require a single authoritative vocabulary for technical documentation, APIs and data exchange specifications

Related standards

ISO 10303-2 is part of the broader ISO 10303 (STEP) family. It complements other parts that define application protocols, resource schemas and implementation guidance by providing the authoritative vocabulary referenced across those parts.

Keywords: ISO 10303-2, STEP vocabulary, product data representation, product data exchange, EXPRESS, SysML, XML, PLM interoperability, CAD data standards, conformance testing.
