(Main)STEP geometry visualization services
STEP geometry visualization services
This document defines a set of metadata to support the audit trail of the transformation of a geometry definition, while it is distributed and shared in supply-chains, to ensure the traceability of geometric model data. It also defines a set of web services based on the utilisation of these metadata. The following are within the scope of this document: — metadata definitions for geometry transformation audit trail: — syntax for storing these metadata in geometry data sets in various formats; — conformance level for implementers and business processes; — definitions of web services to query the geometric model data set and its associated metadata. The following are outside the scope of this document: — service specifications for CAD operations; — specifications of a cybersecurity infrastructure to enable web services; — the technical implementation of a STEP geometry services client or server; — any geometric model definition; — any product and manufacturing information (PMI) definition; — archiving.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use
of (a) patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed
patent rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received
notice of (a) patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are
cautioned that this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent
database available at www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all
such patent rights.

This document was prepared jointly by Technical Committee ISO/TC 184, Automation systems and
integration, Subcommittee SC 4, Industrial data, in collaboration with Joint Technical Committee ISO/
IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 24, Computer graphics, image processing and
environmental data representation and ISO/TC 171, Document management applications, Subcommittee
SC 2, Document file formats, EDMS systems and authenticity of information.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/TS 23301:2021), which has been
technically revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— addition of a new high-level business scenario: spatial query;
— addition of a new requirement: large model presentation: bounding boxes;
— addition of a new requirement: large model presentation: occurrence tree;
— addition of a new metadata: this URI defining the URI of the current data set;
— updates in the services definition;
— addition of a new service: get_available_formats.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

Introduction
There is a confirmed opportunity for industries to have a structured approach on 3D product
visualization and to enable integration of product data in visualization applications, across the life cycle
of the product in all areas of a company.
The integrated standard for the exchange of product model data (STEP) in the enterprise processes has
great value to contribute to this goal.
Business scenarios exist related to the visualization of product data other than geometry (e.g. metadata,
production data, financial data).
The ability to trustfully share, distribute, collect, store, maintain, transfer, process and present product
data associated with its geometry to support business processes distributed in enterprise networks is
a key component of the digital transformation of our industries.
As long as data sets are managed by a single management system, we can ensure quality and traceability
of th
