Bridge Information Modeling Standardization Report, Volume II – Schema Analysis

Bridge Information Modeling Standardization is a multi-volume report that analyzes options for standardized approaches for modeling bridges across their life cycle. The goal of the report is to identify and evaluate candidate open standards that can be used to document all aspects of bridges to identify viable standards that can be used by bridge owners to specify information delivery requirements and by software providers to meet those requirements. After evaluation of the viable available options, the Report goes on to provide an in-depth analysis based on test cases of real bridge projects of the viable alternative. Accompanying the Report is a comprehensive exchange specification to assist software developers to implement the recommended alternative to the benefit of bridge owners. This volume, Schema Analysis, provides background and evaluation of standardization efforts underway nationally and internationally, analyzes the viable schemas produced by these efforts, recommends one of those schema, the buildingSMART Industry Foundation Class (IFC) model for further evaluation and identifies its applicability and potential shortcomings.
