Building information modelling - Information structure based on EN ISO 16739 1 to exchange data templates and data sheets for construction objects - Part 2: Configurable construction objects and requirements
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.

Modélisation des informations de la construction (BIM) - Structure des informations basée sur l’EN ISO 16739-1 pour l’échange de modèles de données et de feuilles de données pour les objets de construction - Partie 2 : Objets de construction configurables et exigences
L’EN ISO 16739 1:2020 offre un langage ouvert pour concevoir, transférer et tenir à jour des modèles de construction. Le présent document constitue une simplification de l’EN ISO 16739 1:2020 du point de vue des technologies de l’information et, en tant que tel, constitue une définition de vue de modèle (MVD). Il est axé sur les classes de base et s’appuie sur des dictionnaires de données externes pour décrire la sémantique métier.
Grâce à cette MVD, plusieurs objectifs de la modélisation des informations de la construction (BIM) peuvent être atteints :
des implémentations moins complexes sans réduction de la fonctionnalité ;
une intégration flexible de la sémantique métier conduisant à une interopérabilité plus complète pour l’utilisateur final ;
la prise en charge de l’ingénierie concourante en utilisant les mécanismes déjà existants.
Les utilisateurs des outils basés sur cette MVD peuvent :
utiliser leur sémantique métier spécifique grâce à l’utilisation de dictionnaires de données ;
exprimer leurs besoins et leurs propositions concernant les objets de construction ;
décrire des objets de construction paramétriques, ainsi que les objets ou produits de construction configurables ;
importer et exporter des données d’objets de construction dans des modèles BIM à n’importe quel stade du projet (conception, construction, exploitation) ;
décrire des devis quantitatifs (programmes de préconception, spécifications techniques, offres) ;
lancer des appels d’offres et acheter des objets de construction ;
vérifier que les objets de construction inclus dans un projet satisfont aux exigences décrites précédemment ;
décrire des catalogues de produits décrits à l’origine conformément à la Partie 1.
Ces scénarios s’inscrivent dans les modèles économiques des propriétaires, des concepteurs, des constructeurs, des fabricants et des gestionnaires d’installations.
Le présent document ne fournit aucun formulaire de données, car il se base sur l’hypothèse que ceux-ci sont déjà définis dans des dictionnaires de données conformes à l’EN ISO 12006 3.
Le présent document est uniquement axé sur le format des données échangées et non sur la manière de les traiter.

Introduction
This document is a technical Model View Definition (MVD) of EN ISO 16739-1:2020. It aims to set a
comprehensive digital structure to store and exchange Construction Object Data Views. It is intended for
software publishers for the construction sector as well as professionals in this sector using their software.
While “Building information modelling — Information structure based on EN ISO 16739-1:2020 to
exchange data templates and data sheets for construction objects — Part 1” focuses on data templates
and configured construction objects, this document includes the structures that shall be used to:
link the objects and properties to their semantic definitions through data dictionaries
express requirements and describe configurable construction objects using declarative expressions
organize the data exchanged during business workflowsThe model view defined by this document can be designated as CODview-2.
It selects a few technical IFC classes to leverage the maximum potential from Building Information
Modelling (BIM):It aims to provide access to dynamic business semantics. For this it uses the complementarity between
the underlying EN ISO 16739-1:2020 standard and the EN ISO 12006-3 for data dictionaries, thereby
outsourcing business semantics of the schema. The use of EN ISO 12006-3 is extended to the negotiation
of Data Templates to agree on a common language prior to data exchanges. These data exchanges can
concern construction projects as well as catalogues of construction products.It aims to ease concurrent engineering by allowing the expression of requirements. For this it highlights
the use of constraints especially in the perspective of data exchanges related to business processes
(EN ISO 29481-2) and the traceability of decisions in models. These constraints make it possible to
express requests relating to construction projects or product catalogues. At last, they may also be used to
describe configurable products.It aims to integrate into workflows as described in EN ISO 19650-1.
These three aspects make it possible to achieve interoperability of data used in software for the
construction and operation sector.Figure 1 shows the general workflow of exchanges between actors willing to agree on a construction
object. It involves several standards (EN ISO 12006-3, EN ISO 29481-2, EN ISO 19650-1). The exchanges
using the CODview-2 standard appear as “CODview-2 payloads” in this figure.---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
