buildingSMART Standards

 

buildingSMART is now using new descriptions for its standards:

  • buildingSMART data models
  • buildingSMART process definitions
  • buildingSMART dictionary terms

 
quick overview on buildingSMART standards

To paint the full picture:

  • IFC (ISO 16759) is the main ‘buildingSMART data model' standard. An MVD is a subset of IFC to satisfy one or several exchange requirements, defined in an Information Delivery Manual (IDM). But there are others: for example BCF is a candidate for a new ‘buildingSMART data model’ standard for collaboration messages, mvdXML is a candidate for a new ‘buildingSMART data model’ standard for exchanging MVD specifications.
  • IDM (ISO 29481) is the main 'buildingSMART process definition' standard.
  • IFD (ISO 12006-3) is the main standard for 'buildingSMART dictionary terms'.

 

In each of these categories there may arise new, but still compatible, standards in the future.
