| 36 | | |
| 37 | | The buildingSMARTalliance (bSa) was created to support advanced digital technology in the real property industry, from concept, design, and contruction to operations and maintenance. It more-or-less expands the goals of the North American chapter of the International Alliance for Interoperability. It is very much a proponent of Building Information Modeling. |

| 43 | | === IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) === |
| 44 | | |
| 45 | | The Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) is a data model developed by the buildingSMARTalliance. It is a neutral and open specification that is not controlled by a single vendor or group of vendors. |
| 46 | | |
| 47 | | The IFC specification is written using the EXPRESS data definition language, defined as ISO10303-11 by the ISO TC184/SC4 committee. It is the same data definition language as used e.g. in STEP or CIS/2. |

| 62 | | == COBIE (Construction Operations Building Information Exchange) == |
| 63 | | |
| 64 | | COBIE is primarily concerned with commercial buildings. Its premise is "Why wait till the job is over to start gathering handover information?" The COBIE approach is to start accumulating handover information while the building is still being designed. Using COBIE-compliant commercial software, engineers and constructors can put appropriate documents into the turnover datastore just once, and make reference to it wherever it is needed. |
| 65 | | |
| 66 | | A formal demonstration of the current version of COBIE, COBIE2, is planned for the National Institute of Building Science annual meeting in Washington, DC, in December 2009. |

| 105 | | |
| 106 | | The Automating Equipment Information Exchange (AEX) project is developing XML specifications to automate information exchange for the design, procurement, delivery, operation and maintenance of engineered equipment. The AEX project is part of FIATECH's Roadmap Element 3. It it being developed in conjunction with the IDS-ADI project because of the large overlap between them. |

| 111 | | |
| 112 | | At the beginning of every detailed engineering project, materials engineers have the task of reconciling their internal valve descriptions with those of valve manufacturers. In this project, valve manufacturers are cross-referencing their valves to the descriptions of the Process Industries Practices (PIP) reference valve catalog using FIATECH’s automation equipment information exchange (AEX) XML protocols. The resulting cross-reference tool will be available to project sponsors on a GVCC website. The GVCC web site will enable participating companies to automatically cross-match their internal valve catalogs and technical specifications with their business collaboration partners via a common cross-match to an electronic version of the PIP valve catalog. |
