Bimxml

BIMXML is a simplified standard for exchanging building information model (BIM) data using XML. It defines objects like chairs, spaces, floors, and buildings with properties in an XML format. Different levels of detail are supported, with objects able to be abstracted as dots. BIMXML links the BIM world to established XML standards and allows for lightweight connections between BIM tools, GIS data, and other systems. It is not meant to replace the more detailed Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) standard but rather to provide a simpler format.

Portfolios of Buildings can be Dots on a Map

Levels of Detail Can be Mixed


For Example: In a single space some furniture may have more detailed geometry and other furniture may not have any geometry, just a dot.

Simple XML Connections


Most of the World Has no Idea what BIM or IFC is but they do manage information about the built environment using established standards from: http://www.w3.org/XML/ BIMXML is an immediate link to that world.
