Abstract
Product and process model data standards are required to provide the unifying language through which integrated computer systems for architecture, engineering, and construction can converse. STEP, the Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data, is a large international effort to develop such standards throughout numerous industries. This paper introduces the STEP effort and provides an overview of the organizational makeup and the model development process. The paper then outlines STEP efforts within the building construction domain, highlighting the Building Construction Core Model project as a central unifying model for computing systems in construction.
