“…Figure 3.4 identified an overall architecture based on the concept of being able to exchange shared data with a central data repository using a simple and flat database structure. Begley et al (2005) highlighted that IFCs are not able to use aggregated composite classes to retrieve basic information that one would need for example; not having to go through the hierarchy of classes to obtain the section of code that is required.…”

“…Stair et al (2008) emphasized that the main contribution of APIs is its ability to link application software to the OS. In section 3.6 Nour (2009) and Begley et al (2005) highlighted the issues of not having to reference attributes to other objects or any inheritance classes. La Query (1999) identified how a subset of XML allows developers to retrieve only the information that they required through relational databases.…”

“…For identifying objects anywhere in the object schema, the core objects could be applied across multiple subject domains through specific object XML schemas. The emergence of distributed client-server technologies, such as Web services, has highlighted the need for future versions of ifcXML to implement different mechanisms that facilitate referencing and exchanging partial sets of information (Begley et al 2005).…”

“…The fifth and sixth release of IFC included an eXtensible Markup Language (XML) based on having Web characteristics such as, easy to write, interpret, and implement. However, ifcXML retained the EXPRESS schema, which create XML documents that were more intricate and voluminous in comparison to an information model optimized for XML (Begley et al 2005). The proposed interoperable solution is to create a repository for exchanging and facilitating partialmodel exchanges through Web Services.…”

This paper reviews the rationale for using a partial data set in Building Information Modeling (BIM) exchanges, influenced by the recognized difficulty of exchanging data at element or object level which depends on the information requiring compatible hardware and software, in order for the data to be read and transferred freely between applications. The solution was not to introduce a new schema in contrast to the industry's existing open exchange model ‘Industry Foundation Classes' which has been in existence since the 1980's, but for the authors to re-engineer an existing Simplified Markup Language ‘BIM XML' into subsets via XML Style Sheet Transition. The language of XML was chosen because Web services, which are developed from XML data representation format and Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) communication protocol, are platform neutral, widely accepted and utilized and come with a wide range of useful technologies. Furthermore, they support Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) – the internet platform that enables interoperability between different software programs. The methodology involved developing a full hybrid research model based on mixed methods, ‘quantitative and qualitative', interlaced into two main phases. The first phase comprised of a main survey questionnaire, focus groups, two Delphi questionnaires, semi-structured interviews and a case study. The final phase, ‘product design and testing', used semantic methods and tools, such as Business Process Management Notation. The final case study (a prototype test) successfully itemized the potential of combining three applications asynchronously in real-time. The interoperable capabilities of Web services APIs for exchanging partial sets of BIM data enabled assumptions with a higher amount of detail to be reviewed at the feasibility design stage. Future services will be built upon existing Web Ontology languages such as SPARQL descriptions to be used in conjunction with several web services connecting together on a Cloud platform to produce a knowledge ‘Semantic Web'.

IFCXML Based Automatic Data Input Approach for Building Energy Performance Analysis

To analyze building energy consumption, the building description for building energy performance analysis (BEPA) is required. The required data input for subject building is a basic step in the BEPA process. Since building information modeling (BIM) is applied in the construction industry, the required data for BEPA can be gathered from a single international standard file format like IFCXML. However, in most BEPA processes, since the required data cannot be fully used from the IFCXML file, a building description for BEPA must be created again. This paper proposes IFCXML-based automatic data input approach for BEA. After the required data for BEPA has been defined, automatic data input for BEPA is developed by a prototype system. To evaluate the proposed system, a common BIM file from the BuildingSMART website is applied as a sample model. This system can increase the efficiency and reliability of the BEPA process, since the data input is automatically and efficiently improved by directly using the IFCXML file..
