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.
