Goals • Set the standard for object-based data exchange and sharing of virtual buildings: • IFC model – create a comprehensive information specification

• Dictionary – Uniquely identify properties and objects.

Dynamically extend the IFC model.

• Exchange Requirements - IDM – define information requirements and rules for particular business processes

• Reference Processes – establish standard process descriptions that 12 can be extended for projects

IFD Library Background • IFD (ISO/DIS 12006-3) was developed by ISO/TC 59/SC 13/WG 6 • IFD is an EXPRESS model standardised in ISO 12006-3 • Several countries have been building dictionaries based on IFD • IFC will have support for IFD information as of version Ifc2x4 • The Norwegian The Norwegian BuildingSMART project and STABU have developed a common WSDL interface (API) to a unified IFD library • BARBi (Norway) and and LexiCon (Netherlands) will be one unified library • Version 2 of web API is up running: http://services.ifd-library.org/api/2.0?wsdl 22

IFDLibrary Partners • Established IFDLibrary Partners 2006 – – – –

STABU Standards Norway Construction Specifications Canada Construction Specifications Institute

• Plan for Deployment – Global Terminology Library • Based on ISO 12006-3 • Harmonized GUIDs

– Self-sustaining enterprise – IP protection

• Chartered under IAI International

23

Technical development • Status: – New API (WS) beta release in Lisbon at the end of September 2005 – New IFD API 2.0 release on November 1st – Washington 2006 – Since then testing and bug fixing – Started issuing usernames and passwords for testing in April 2007

24

Adding and maintaining content • Status: – Procedure for adding content in Norwegian buildingSMART project established and approved by partner group – Terms and definitions in native language and international English – Software tool for adding and maintaining content developed – the IFD Library Propertylizer – IFD Library Propertylizer 1.0 released in Nov. 2006 – IFD Library Propertylizer 2.0 released in June 2007 • Using new API – used for testing and bug fixing • Upload and download fully functional

– Pilot Projects beginning in North America 25

Pilot Projects – U.S. • OmniClass Tables – Support NBIMS

• ICC Code Models – Energy Code • Generic Product Properties for Specifiers • PRM Glossary/other Terminology bases • GSA BIM Guide Program – Phase II Elements 26

Information Exchange Requirement Business Case Development

(is requesting) Actor Requesting Information to Support a Process or Decision (Authoritative Reference OMNI CLASS – Table 33 & 34)

(project/process use or benefit) Why is this information important for a project activity (Authoritative Reference OMNI CLASS- Table 32)

(stage in project) (Authoritative Reference OMNI-CLASS-Table 31) Table 31 is tied to Ifc Phases (Project Lifecycle) Table 22 for Construction Phasing

Dataset in BIM that supports the request and benefit) Because BIM use aggregates Information Several Tables Support this activity.

Authoritative Reference OMNI-CLASS Tables 14, 21, 23, 41, 49.
