KC Morris is a computer scientist in the Manufacturing Systems Integration Division.  Her work involves methods and mechanisms for supporting the specification and development of information interface standards and the testing of those standards.  Currently she is working on projects to develop and test XML Schema-based interfaces.  Earlier in her career she worked on STEP, a.k.a. ISO 10303 The Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data. STEP is a family of ISO standards for product data. She was a primary contributor to the development and validation of STEP's implementation mechanisms. She has architected and contributed to the development of numerous prototypes of the STEP Data Access Interface (SDAI), including NIST's public-domain STEP Toolset. KC has been a technical contributor to the ISO working groups developing STEP and to several industrial consortiums, including FIATECH, PDES, Inc. and National Industrial Information Infrastructure Protocols Program (NIIIP). Her current research interests include data sharing for engineering and manufacturing including product data management and techniques for managing and testing such systems.
