Building Groups Seek Unity on Interoperability and BIM 4/2/2007
As more industry sectors weigh in on the future of Building Information Modeling and other interoperability issues, the International Alliance for Interoperability and the National Institute of Building Sciences are trying to create neutral ground to bring unity to the growing trend.
The groups launched the buildingSMART Alliance, a public/private initiative that will operate within NIBS. It will promote open standards that link national and international stakeholders in development, construction, design and building management sectors.
