In Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_10303 you find several links, eg:
* STEP APPLICATION HANDBOOK ISO 10303 VERSION 3 http://www.tc184-sc4.org/SC4_Open/SC4_Standards_Developers_Info/Files/ST...
* Especially on Part 21: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_10303-21

Here's a program that will generate a Part 21 file parser from EBNF.

You might also look at the steptools website.
