Uhh, I think you have the wrong STEP. PDES stands for Product
Definition Exchange Specification, which started as a US effort.
STEP stands for Standard for Exchange of Product Model Data (I
believe) which is the European version of same. PDES/STEP indicates
that both groups are trying to converge on a single standard for
product modeling data.
