OpenBIM

OpenBIM extends the benefits of BIM (Building Information Modeling) by improving the accessibility, usability, management and ~~sustainability~~ of digital data in the built asset industry.

At its core, openBIM is a collaborative process that is vendor-neutral.

openBIM processes can be defined as sharable project information that supports seamless collaboration for all project participants.

openBIM facilitates interoperability to benefit projects and assets throughout their lifecycle.

openBIM permits digital workflows based on vendor-neutral formats such as IFC, BCF, COBie, CityGML, gbXML, etc...

IDS

Information Delivery Specification

What?
bSDD is an online service with
classifications, materials and their properties.

Why?
To enrich BIM models, improve interoperability

and data quality

How?

By unifying how we define information for a certain context, and showing how it relates to other information systems.

buildingSMART Data Dictionary

How bSDD works?

Instead of calling an object 'wall', you point to the exact definition of a wall in the bSDD. Others can see what you mean by 'wall' and how it is related to the classification they are using.

bSDD also shows what properties describe a 'wall',
and how to define their values.

Apart from that, bSDD allows showing how one classification relates to others by defining relations between them.
