  text: Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) build mechatronic systems using components
    from several suppliers in industry sectors like automation. The suppliers provide
    geometrical information via the standardized exchange format STEP, such that the
    OEM is able to virtually layout the overall system. Beyond the geometrical information,
    the OEM needs additional technical information for his development tasks. For
    that reason, STEP provides an extension mechanism for extending and tailoring
    STEP to project-specific needs. However, extending STEP moreover requires extending
    several capabilities of all involved tools, causing high development effort. This
    effort prevents the project-specific utilization of the STEP extension mechanism
    and forces the organizations to use awkward workarounds. In order to cope with
    this problem, we present a model-driven approach enabling the flexible specification
    of STEP extensions and particularly the automatic derivation of the required further
    capabilities for two involved tools. We illustrate and evaluate the approach with
    an automation production system example.
