The BIM Dictionary and the Modular Language (original) (raw)

2016

Abstract

This inaugural BIM Dictionary presentation was delivered at MelBIM on April 13, 2016. The 20-minutes presentation briefly introduced BIM Excellence and its not-for-profit BIM Excellence Initiative. It then explained what the dictionary covers and the different attributes of a single Dictionary Item. Following an online presentation http://BIMdictionary.com, the presentation explained how several hundred Dictionary Items are connected to other 'knowledge blocks' - e.g. Competency Items, Model Uses and Document Types – to form a Modular Language. A workflow is then shown using these knowledge blocks as an example of how the expanding Modular Language can be used to generate workflows, guides and templates. The presentation ended by providing a list of planned BIM Dictionary features and identifying how practitioners, researchers and institutions can support or sponsor this effort. If interested in learning more about the BIM Excellence Initiative, contributing to this effort, or becoming a sponsor, please contact bsuccar@bimexcellence.com; thank you.
