The digital transformation of the construction industry includes also the digital transformation of the supply chaine of construction products. With EN ISO 16739-1 exists an open language to design, transfer and maintain construction models. The construction models (e.g. of a building) contain a digital twin of real-life products. The data of these products should be transported in a digital format on the way from the factory to the building owner.
This product data should be expressed also in an easy and open way. The creators of product data files should be able to do this manually or automatically, as they like it. The users of product data should be able to use it to:
•   Express their requirements related to products
•   Describe configurable products
•   Import product data easily in the BIM models at any stage of the project (design, construction, operation)
•   Export product data easily from the BIM models at any stage of the project (design, construction, operation)
These scenarios fit in the business models of manufacturers, planners, construction companies and facility managers.
The working group 4 of CEN-TC442 has published proposals for creating new work items in the sector of CEN regarding the storage and the transport of product data in the sector of building information modelling (BIM):
EN ISO 16739-1:2018: Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) for data sharing in the construction and facility management industries- Part 1: Data schema
EN ISO 12006-3: Building construction – Organization of information about construction works – Part 3: Framework for object-oriented information
prEN ISO 23386: Building information modelling and other digital processes used in Construction – Methodology to describe, author and maintain properties in interconnected dictionaries
prEN ISO 23387: Data templates for construction works entities, Part 1:  Objects, collections, and relationships defining the general structure of data templates
This standard defines a format to negotiate product data templates, express requirements and describe configurable products and therefore fills the missing link between the product data sources (e.g. catalogs) from the manufacturers and the BIM models of the designers, builders, and owners.

ISO 19650 part 4 provides detailed process and criteria for the decision points in the process of executing an information exchange within information management as defined by ISO 19650. It promotes a sustainable approach to information exchange where the immediate delivery of information does not preclude its future use.    
It is applicable to any information exchange within project stages (ISO 19650 part 2) and within in-use events (ISO 19650 part 3).  All development and information exchanges should be executed under the appropriate security controls (ISO 19650 part 5).
It supports the satisfaction of a specific EIR/AIR related to an individual information exchange of any type of information by enumerating criteria relating to completeness, compliance to formal exchange schemas, the continuity of concepts between exchanges and the elimination of spatial and specification conflicts

This part of ISO 29481 Information Delivery Manual (IDM) specifies:
• a data schema for exchanging the data required in specific data exchange scenarios during the building lifecycle in the
extensible markup language (XML) schema format.
• a classification system for IDM specifications.
This part of ISO 29481 is intended to facilitate interoperability and reusability of IDM specifications. It promotes digital collaboration
between actors in the construction process and provides a basis for accurate, reliable, repeatable and high-quality information
exchange.

This document discusses an integrated and unified approach for data aspects, specifically for assets in the built environment, using EIF terminology.
The following data architecture (Figure 1) applies within each category.
Figure 1 - Data architecture with typology (grey areas indicating the scope of this document)
...
This document specifies:
-   a generic Top Level "M1: Data model" as common form;
-   a conceptual "L1: Data language" as common meta-model with four ‘linked data’-based concrete language bindings (SKOS, RDFS, OWL and SHACL), including:
-   a choice of RDF-based formats (to be used for all modelling and language levels);
-   a set of data modelling patterns (for identification, naming, handling of enumeration types, quantity modelling, asset decomposition, grouping, etc.).
-   a linking approach for interlinking data sets, interlinking data models and linking data sets and data models which are relevant within the built environment from many perspectives such as:
-   Building information modelling (BIM);
-   Geo-spatial information systems (GIS);
-   Systems engineering (SE)  );
-   Monitoring & control (M&C);
-   Electronic document management (EDM).
This document does not specify a knowledge model since this is already available in ISO 12006-3.
This document does not specify a meta-‘data language’ since this is already provided by the concrete RDF language bindings (being RDFS).
The scope of this document in general excludes the following:
-   Business process modelling;
-   Software implementation aspects;
-   Data packaging and transportation/transaction aspects (handled by ISO TC59/SC13 Information container for document delivery (ICDD) respectively various information delivery manual (IDM) / information exchange requirements (EIR)-related initiatives);
-   Domain-specific (here: built environment-specific) content modelling in the form of concepts, attributes and relations at end-user level (the actual ontologies themselves) beyond a generic upper ontology and modelling patterns.

development of dictionaries used to store or provide information about construction works. The model
is extended by instantiating content, such as further objects and their relationships, allowing the
content to serve as an ontology, taxonomy, meronomy, lexicon and thesaurus.
NOTE 1 Lexicons are resources for comprising lexical entries for a given language
NOTE 2 Meronomies are type of hierarchies which deals with part-whole relationships
NOTE 3 Ontologies are formal, explicit specification of a shared conceptualizationIt enables classification
systems, information models, object models, data templates and process models to be cross-referenced from

This document specifies the detailed process and criteria for decision makings when executing an information exchange as specified by the ISO 19650 series to ensure the quality of the resulting project information model or asset information model. It details the implementation of the concepts in ISO 19650-1 and is applicable to any information exchange within the delivery stages covered by ISO 19650-2 and operational trigger events covered by ISO 19650-3.
This document is applicable to assets of all sizes and all levels of complexity. This includes portfolios of buildings, campuses, infrastructure networks, individual buildings and pieces of infrastructure. The requirements in this document should be applied in a way that is appropriate to the scale and complexity of the asset. This document makes use of the phrase “shall consider”. This phrase is used to introduce a list of items that the person in question is required to think about carefully in connection with the primary requirement described in the subclause. The amount of thought involved, the time taken to complete it, and the need for supporting evidence depend on the complexity of the asset, the experience of the person(s) involved, and the requirements of any national policy on introducing building information modelling. On a relatively small or straightforward asset, it can be possible to complete, or dismiss as not relevant, some of these “shall consider” items very quickly. One way to help identify which of the “shall consider” statements are relevant can be to review each statement and create templates for assets of different sizes and complexity.

This document provides a guidance on how to develop an Information Delivery Manual (IDM) in compliance with EN ISO 29481-1 hereafter referred to as the "IDM standard". This document explains the core components and development process of the IDM methodology in non-technical terms. This guidance aims to help users and software vendors understand and utilise the IDM standard in defining information requirements and deliverables.
The technical implementation of IDM in a data model, Model View Definition 1) (MVD), is excluded from this guideline’s scope. IDM standard introduces the MVD concept but does not specify it in detail.
This guidance also utilises some transaction framework concepts introduced in EN ISO 29481-2. The technical XML- and XSD-schema definitions supporting the software solutions are excluded from this guidance.
1) An MVD defines a data model or a subset of an existing data model that is necessary to support one or many specific data exchange requirements. MVDs are used in software development and should have a machine-readable representation. An MVD that is dedicated to a single IDM can be used to filter information in software tools to a specific exchange requirement. [SOURCE: EN ISO 29481-1:2017, 5.6.4].
1.1   Background
This guideline primary reference is the IDM standard part 1 (EN ISO 29481-1:2017) (hereafter referred to as IDM standard). This guideline helps in understanding and using the IDM standard to describe information delivery. The guidance also uses some concepts described in part 2 of the IDM standard series (EN ISO 29481-2:2016). Considerable efforts have been made to align this guidance with the terminology and concepts introduced in EN ISO 19650-1 and EN ISO 19650-2.
Information Delivery Manual specification (hereafter referred to as the IDM specification) provides help in getting the full benefit from building information modelling (BIM). When the required information is available in the BIM to support a construction process or use case, and the quality of information is satisfactory, the process itself is much improved. The IDM standard provides a method to create the specification.
A complete IDM specification should support two perspectives: user requirements and technical solutions. User requirements describe the needed information delivery and the overall process in which information exchange occurs. The technical solution defines an exchange requirement model using a harmonised data schema.
EN ISO 29481-1 provides a methodology and a harmonised format to specify information requirements. It offers a framework and method to determine the needed information delivery with process maps and exchange requirements.
EN ISO 29481-2 specifies an interaction framework and format to describe "coordination acts" between actors or parties within an appointment. It facilitates interoperability between software applications used in the construction process to promote digital collaboration between actors in the building construction process. Also, it provides a basis for accurate, reliable, repeatable, and high-quality information exchange.
1.2   Users of this guidance document
This guidance document is intended for clients, architects, engineers, contractors, surveyors, authorities, and other parties who need to specify or implement information delivery. Originally, the IDM standard was focused on defining BIM deliverables, but the possible application of the standard is much broader. It can be used to specify any requirement for information delivery.
Although software developers and technology adapters are not the primary audiences of this guidance document, it may help them better understand existing IDMs and develop their own IDMs.
1.3   Relation to EN ISO 19650
The IDM standard is a process-oriented methodology used to describe the information exchange requirements for a particular purpose which may complement the information-management approach outlined in the EN ISO 19650 series...

BIM Execution Plans (BEP) and Exchange Information requirements (EIR) are central complementary documents for the definition of information requirements and how to process them in collaborative BIM environments.
Where EIR defines the Exchange information requirements of an appointing party and BEP – the BIM execution Plan – is the plan how to fulfill these requirements by the appointed parties.
This work item will
•   examine and explain the demands for Exchange Information Requirements (EIR) and BIM execution Plans (BEP) based on EN/ISO 19650-1 and -2.
•   Provide guidance for the implementation of EIR and BEP
•   Provide templates for the creation of EIR and BEP

This document deals with the processes involved in the procurement and delivery of information to planning and construction projects, specifically with exchange information requirement (EIR) and BIM execution plan (BEP), considering the administrative processes. This document takes into account international standards and specifications as well as recommended practice.
This document is relevant for all parties involved in the tendering of information deliverables. Including both those that require and those that deliver the information. The required information can be relevant for all processes in the life cycle such as design, construction, operation and maintenance and end-of-life processes. It applies above all to e.g. client, asset owners/operators, architects, engineer, contractors, subcontractors etc.
This document provides methodology to appointing parties on how to require and agree the right amount, quality and level of information needs.
It is also important for appointed parties to be able to assess the quality of existing EIRs and identify possible over-specification or gaps. Based on this, it is possible to estimate and calculate the necessary effort for data creation.
This document operationalizes the tendering and appointment process of information deliverables as specified in EN ISO 19650-2:2018. This document does not cover all clauses of EN ISO 19650-2:2018. Its main goal is to provide template examples and guidance for all activities conditioning specification of requirements and deliverables in the production of exchange information requirements and BIM execution plan. Specifically, it covers the “shall” and “shall consider” requirements in EN ISO 19650-2:2018, 5.2.1 (EIR), 5.3.2 (pre-appointment BEP) and 5.4.1 (confirmed BEP). For specification of Scope and out of scope see Table 1 (see Annex A for which part of EN ISO 19650-2:2018 is supported by templates).

This document specifies concepts and principles to establish a methodology for specifying level of information need and information deliveries in a consistent way when using Building Information Modelling (BIM).
This document specifies the characteristics of different levels used for defining the detail and extent of information required to be exchanged and delivered throughout the life cycle of built assets. It gives guidelines for principles required to specify information needs.
The concepts and principles in this document can be applied for a general information exchange and whilst in progress, for a generally agreed way of information exchange between parties in a collaborative work process, as well as for a contractually specified information delivery.
The level of information need provides methods for describing information to be exchanged according to exchange information requirements. The exchange information requirements specify the wanted information exchange. The result of this process is an information delivery.
The concepts and principles contained in this document are applicable to all those involved in the asset life cycle. This includes, but is not limited to, the asset owner/operator, the project client, the asset manager, the design team, the construction supply chain, the equipment manufacturer, the system specialist, the regulator, and the end-user.

This document defines an open and stable container format to exchange files of a heterogeneous nature to deliver, store and archive documents that describe an asset throughout its entire lifecycle.
It is suitable for all parties dealing with information concerning the built environment, where there is a need to exchange multiple documents and their interrelationships, either as part of the process or as contracted deliverables. The format is intended to use resources either included in the container (such as documents) or referenced remotely (such as web resources). A key feature is that the container can include information about the relationships between the documents. Relevant use-cases reflect the need for information exchange during the entire life cycle of any built asset and can include, but are not limited to, the handover of
- a published bidding package,
- required project deliverables at a specific project stage (e.g. when proposing different design scenarios),
- shared information as background or for further development,
- published approval packages, or
- information about versions between partners to provide a means to reference particular states of the information and track changes.

c)    create an asset information model (AIM) for an existing asset or portfolio of assets;
d)    create an AIM from selected contents of a project information model (PIM) from a construction project;
e)    exchange asset information with appointed parties (service providers) during operation and maintenance activities, and also during construction projects.
f)    revise the AIM as the asset changes
g)    record information relating to the disposal, decommissioning or demolition of an asset;
h)    use the AIM to support organizational business processes; and
i)    hold the AIM as a resource for the organization.
NOTE 1 In developing and implementing these processes it is important to consider ISO 19650-5 and the need for adoption of appropriate and proportionate security-minded policies, processes and procedures to ensure that sensitive assets and data/information are afforded appropriate protection.
NOTE 2 References to information should be understood to cover both data and information relevant to both asset and facilities management.
This standard will be for use by organizations and individuals responsible for the operation, maintenance and strategic management of assets. It will also be of use to individuals involved in exchanging information from a PIM to and from an AIM. In addition, it will be of use to individuals involved in exchanging information throughout the life of an asset.
The standard will not cover detailed information content as this can only be defined in the information requirements which are developed by the organization. However, the standard will identify activities and documents which define information content.

This International standard sets out the concepts, principles and the general structure for product data templates for products used in construction works. This general structure can be used to describe any product, e.g. in the domains of construction products, mechanical products, electrical products, plumbing products, and HVAC products.
This standard gives the specification of a taxonomy model based on ISO 12006-3 Building construction -- Organization of information about construction works -- Part 3: Framework for object-oriented information, that provides a methodology for creating concepts, grouping concepts, and defining relationships between concepts. Concepts defined in this standard are representing reference documents, product types, properties, property sets, quantities, units and values, with relationships between the concepts to provide the formal description of the product type as well as its typical behavior. This structure of concepts and relationships forms the basis for a product data template.
This standard describes how product data templates shall be linked to IFC classes according EN ISO 16739 - Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) for data sharing in the construction and facility management industries, by describing the general rule for creating relations between xtdsubject and xtdproperty with Ifc entities and Ifc properties in a data dictionary based on EN ISO 12006-3 Building construction -- Organization of information about construction works -- Part 3: Framework for object-oriented information.
This standard describes the general product data template structure that shall be used for developing specific product data templates based on domain and/or specific areas such as standards developed in ISO/IEC, CEN/CENELEC, ASTM, ANSI, etc.

This proposed ISO standard will specify requirements for the security-minded management of projects utilizing digital technologies, associated control systems, for example building management systems, digital built environments and smart asset management. It outlines security threats to information during asset:.
• conception, strategy and briefing;
• procurement;
• design;
• construction;
• commissioning and handover;
• operation and maintenance;
• performance management;
• change of use/modification; and
• disposal/demolition.
It will explain the need for, and application of,trustworthiness and security controls throughout a built asset’s lifecycle (including the full project lifecycle) to deliver a holistic approach encompassing:
• safety;
• authenticity;
• availability (including reliability);
• confidentiality;
• integrity;
• possession;
• resilience; and
• utility.
The standard will address the steps required to create and cultivate an appropriate safety and security mindset and culture across many partners, including the need to monitor and audit compliance.
It will provide a foundation to support the evolution of future digital built environments, for example intelligent buildings, infrastructure and smart cities, but does not detail technical architectures for their implementation. While the processes contained within it may be applicable to other data management systems, this PAS does not specifically address issues relating to these systems.

ISO 12006-2:2015 defines a framework for the development of built environment classification systems. It identifies a set of recommended classification table titles for a range of information object classes according to particular views, e.g. by form or function, supported by definitions. It shows how the object classes classified in each table are related, as a series of systems and sub-systems, e.g. in a building information model.
ISO 12006-2:2015 does not provide a complete operational classification system, nor does it provide the content of the tables, though it does give examples. It is intended for use by organizations which develop and publish such classification systems and tables, which may vary in detail to suit local needs. However, if this part of ISO 12006 is applied in the development of local classification systems and tables, then harmonization between them will be facilitated.
ISO 12006-2:2015 applies to the complete life cycle of construction works, including briefing, design, documentation, construction, operation and maintenance, and demolition. It applies to both building and civil engineering works, including associated engineering services and landscaping.

This document defines an open and stable container format to exchange files of a heterogeneous nature
to deliver, store and archive documents that describe an asset throughout its entire lifecycle.
It is suitable for all parties dealing with information concerning the built environment, where there is
a need to exchange multiple documents and their interrelationships, either as part of the process or
as contracted deliverables. The format is intended to use resources either included in the container
(such as documents) or referenced remotely (such as web resources). A key feature is that the container
can include information about the relationships between the documents. Relevant use-cases reflect the
need for information exchange during the entire life cycle of any built asset and can include, but are not
limited to, the handover of
1. a published bidding package,
2. required project deliverables at a specific project stage (e.g. when proposing different design
scenarios),
3. shared information as background or for further development,
4. published approval packages, or
5. information about versions between partners to provide a means to reference particular states of
the information and track changes.

The primary purpose of ISO 16757 is the provision of data structures for electronic product catalogues to transmit building services product data automatically into models of building services software applications. This includes a meta model for the specification of product classes and their properties and a meta model for the product data which is exchanged in product catalogues. Product data has to follow the specifications for their product groups.
ISO 16757-1:2015 specifies
the underlying concepts,
a generic model specifying the available modelling elements and their relationships, and
a framework for the specification of the Content Parts by describing the elements which are to be provided by these Parts.

ISO 16757-2:2016 describes the modelling of building services product geometry. The description is optimized for the interchange of product catalogue data and includes
-      shapes for representing the product itself,
-      symbolic shapes for the visualization of the product's function in schematic diagrams,
-      spaces for functional requirements,
-      surfaces for visualization, and
-      ports to represent connectivity between different objects.
The shape and space geometry is expressed as Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) based on geometric primitives concatenated to boundary representations by Boolean operations. ISO 16757-2:2016 uses the applicable primitives from ISO 10303‑42 and from ISO 16739 and adds primitives which are required for the special geometry of building services products. For symbolic shapes, line elements are also used.
ISO 16757-2:2016 neither describes the inner structure and internal functionality of the product nor the manufacturing information because this is typically not published within a product catalogue.
Building services products can have millions of variant dimensions. To avoid the exchange of millions of geometries, a parametric model is introduced which allows the derivation of variant-specific geometries from the generic model. This is necessary to reduce the data to be exchanged in a catalogue to a manageable size. The parametric model will result in smaller data files, which can be easier transmitted during data exchanges.
The geometry model used does not contain any drawing information such as views, line styles or hatching.

This European standard provides core product category rules (PCR) for Type III environmental declarations for any construction product and construction service.
NOTE   The assessment of social and economic performances at product level is not covered by this standard.
The core PCR:
-   defines the parameters to be declared and the way in which they are collated and reported,
-   describes which stages of a product’s life cycle are considered in the EPD and which processes are to be included in the life cycle stages,
-   defines rules for the development of scenarios,
-   includes the rules for calculating the Life Cycle Inventory and the Life Cycle Impact Assessment underlying the EPD, including the specification of the data quality to be applied,
-   includes the rules for reporting predetermined, environmental and health information, that is not covered by LCA for a product, construction process and construction service where necessary,
-   defines the conditions under which construction products can be compared based on the information provided by EPD.
For the EPD of construction services the same rules and requirements apply as for the EPD of construction products.
