ISO 10303 specifies a language by which aspects of product data can be defined, see ISO 10303-11:2004

EXPRESS is a data specification language as defined in ISO 10303-1. It consists of language elements that allow an unambiguous data definition and specification of constraints on the data defined

The language also specifies:

  • EXPRESS-G a graphical representation for a subset of the constructs in the EXPRESS language.
  • EXPRESS-I instance language provides a means of displaying example instantiations of EXPRESS defined elements and also provides formal support for the specification of abstract test cases
