Clearly defined conventions are needed for the connected processes and interfaces. buildingSMART e.V. has committed to this for many years as part of the international buildingSMART movement. The independent association promotes open interfaces and, as a result, “open BIM”. It represents high quality in BIM standards and solutions that put the users and their work processes at the focus.
