A standards modeling language is presented. The use of this language enables the complete sep- aration of design systems, standards processors and standards. This paper presents the requirements of a standards modeling language that can be used to represent complex design standards. A standards modeling language should accommodate indeterminate provisions, accommodate exceptions and higher-order provision of the design standards, support heterogeneous representation and reasoning strategies, accommodate large knowledge bases, accommodate access to multiple design standards and supplementary programs, and support is omorphic mod- eling. This is an overview of standards modeling language, how it allows the development of isomorphic computable models of design standards and the advantages of isomorphic modeling.
