Open data in UK policy and in ISO 19650, six buildingSMART standards and where each stands now, their place in the delivery process of ISO 19650-2 including rule-based checking, and the right way to specify COBie on a UK project now that BS 1192-4 has been withdrawn make up the rest.\nChapters\n0:00 Opening: a pump that outlives its software\n2:30 Why open data matters, from policy to ISO 19650-1\n5:10 Six buildingSMART standards and where they stand now\n8:07 Open standards through the ISO 19650-2 process, and checking against rules\n12:23 COBie in UK practice, then and now\n15:30 Close\nAfter listening, you should be able to:\nExplain the difference between open and proprietary data for the whole life of an asset.\nDescribe the purpose of IFC, IDM, MVD, BCF, bSDD and IDS.\nApply buildingSMART standards to activities in the ISO 19650-2 process.\nEvaluate how COBie should be specified on a UK project today.\nReferences\nBIM Industry Working Group.
