BIM is often associated with [[Industry Foundation Classes]] (IFCs) and [[aecXML]] – data structures for representing information – developed by [[buildingSMART]]. IFC is recognised by the [[International Organization for Standardization|ISO]] and has been an official international standard, ISO 16739, since 2013.<ref name="BSmart-Mar2013">{{cite news |title=IFC4 poised for wider reach as ISO 16739 launched |url=http://open.bimreal.com/bim/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/IFC4-special-supplement.pdf |work=IFC4 Special |publisher=BuildingSmart International |date=March 2013 |access-date=2020-05-25 |archive-date=2020-09-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200915074909/http://open.bimreal.com/bim/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/IFC4-special-supplement.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>
 
OpenBIM is an initiative by [[buildingSMART]] that promotes open standards and interoperability in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. It is based on the [[Industry Foundation Classes]] (IFC) standard, which allows for vendor-neutral BIM data exchange. OpenBIM also includes other standards such as the [[BIM Collaboration Format]] (BCF) for issue tracking and the [[Information Delivery Specification]] (IDS) for defining model requirements.<ref>https://www.archdaily.com/982389/what-is-open-bim-and-what-are-its-advantages-over-closed-bim</ref>
 
Construction Operations Building information exchange ([[COBie]]) is also associated with BIM. COBie was devised by Bill East of the [[United States Army Corps of Engineers]] in 2007,<ref name=East2007>{{cite web|last=East|first=E.
