openBIM Methods for Structuring, Interoperability and Verification of Built Asset Information - 2026_IDR_DABC_8

The research programme focuses on the development and testing of openBIM methodologies for structuring, interoperability and verification of built asset information. Activities will focus on the analysis and formalisation of information requirements, their semantic decomposition and mapping to IFC entities, attributes, properties and classifications, and the definition of machine-readable information structures. The research will include the structuring and validation of IFC datasets, the definition of Information Requirements and Verification Logics, and the testing of procedures for assessing information quality and consistency. The methodologies will be validated through case studies and applied to life-cycle information management, with particular reference to Digital Building Logbooks (DBLs), Digital Product Passports (DPPs) and interoperable digital platforms.
