Information container for linked document delivery - Exchange specification - Part 1: Container (ISO 21597-1:2020)

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.

Informationscontainer zur Datenübergabe - Austausch-Spezifikation - Teil 1: Container (ISO 21597-1:2020)

Dieses Dokument definiert ein offenes und stabiles Containerformat für den Austausch von ansonsten nicht zusammenhängenden Dateien, um Dokumente, die einen Vermögensgegenstand während seines gesamten Lebenszyklus beschreiben, zu liefern, zu speichern und zu archivieren.
Es ist für alle Beteiligten geeignet, die sich mit Informationen befassen, die die gebaute Umwelt betreffen, wenn die Notwendigkeit besteht, mehrere Dokumente und ihre inneren Bezüge entweder als Teil des Prozesses oder als vertraglich vereinbarte Ergebnisse auszutauschen. Das Format ist dafür vorgesehen, Ressourcen zu verwenden, die entweder im Container enthalten sind (wie z. B. Dokumente) oder auf die extern verwiesen wird (wie z. B. Web Ressourcen). Ein Hauptmerkmal besteht darin, dass der Container Informationen über die Beziehungen zwischen den Dokumenten enthalten kann. Die relevanten Anwendungsfälle spiegeln den Bedarf für den Informationsaustausch während des gesamten Lebenszyklus eines baulichen Assets wider. Sie können nachfolgend genannte Informationsbereitstellung einschließen, sind jedoch nicht allein darauf beschränkt:
1) Übergabe eines veröffentlichten Ausschreibungspakets;
2) Übergabe geforderter Projektergebnisse in einer bestimmten Projektphase (z. B. wenn verschiedene Planungsvarianten vorgeschlagen werden);
3) Übergabe gemeinsamer Informationen als Grundlage oder für die weitere Entwicklung;
4) Übergabe veröffentlichter Genehmigungspakete; oder
5) Übergabe von Informationen zu Versionen zwischen Partnern, als Mittel für die Referenzierung bestimmter Informationsstände und für die Nachverfolgung von Änderungen.

Conteneur d'informations pour la livraison de documents liés - Spécification d'échange - Partie 1: Conteneur (ISO 21597-1:2020)

Le présent document définit un format de conteneur ouvert et fiable permettant d'échanger des fichiers de nature hétérogène afin de livrer, de stocker et d'archiver des documents qui décrivent un bien tout au long de son cycle de vie.
Il est adapté à toutes les parties traitant d'informations relatives à l'environnement bâti, lorsqu'il est nécessaire d'échanger plusieurs documents et leurs relations mutuelles, soit dans le cadre d'un processus, soit en tant que livrables sous contrat. Le format est destiné à utiliser des ressources soit intégrées dans le conteneur (telles que des documents), soit référencées à distance (telles que des ressources Web). La possibilité d'inclure dans le conteneur des informations sur les relations entre les documents le composant, constitue une caractéristique majeure. Les cas d'utilisations pertinents témoignent de la nécessité d'échanger des informations tout au long du cycle de vie des biens bâtis et peuvent inclure, de manière non exhaustive, le transfert:
- d'un dossier d'appel d'offres publié;
- de livrables exigés à une étape spécifique d'un projet (p. ex. lors de la proposition de différents scénarios de conception);
- d'informations à caractère général partagées ou destinées à un développement futur;
- de dossiers d'approbation publiés; ou
- d'informations sur les versions entre les partenaires pour fournir un moyen de référencer des états particuliers de l'information et le suivi des modifications.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
