THIS PAPER PRESENTS A PROCEDURE FOR THE PREPARATION OF PRODUCT DATA FOR COMPUTER-AIDED PROCESS PLANNING (CAPP). THE FOUNDATION OF THE PROJECT IS A SET OF NEW STANDARDS, PDES/STEP. IT IS BELIEVED THAT PDES/STEP, ALTHOUGH NOT FULLY DEVELOPED, WILL BE ABLE TO REPRESENT PRODUCT DATA IN A CONSISTENT AND UNAMBIGUOUS MANNER FOR ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS SUCH AS CAPP. THE PRODUCT DATA PREPARATION PROCEDURE IS BUILT UPON A CONCEPT CALLED APPLICATION PROTOCOL. IMPORTANT ELEMENTS TO THIS PROJECT INCLUDE EXPRESS, C++ AND ROSE++, WHICH ALL ARE EXPLAINED IN THE PAPER WITH EXAMPLES. THE PAPER IS CONCLUDED WITH PLANS FOR FURTHER RESEARCH.
