Hi All, SST is primarily not a STEP files import tool/API even though it is able to do so. It is going to be RDF/OWL API + GIT like revision based repository environment that allows to work with CAD/CAx RDF data in a distributed way. It has a lot of generic RDF capabilities but is optimized for CAD/CAx workflows.
