Interoperability and BIM standards: merge two paras both describing the same subject
Line 26:
An early BIM standard was the CIMSteel Integration Standard, CIS/2, a product model and data exchange file format for structural steel project information (CIMsteel: Computer Integrated Manufacturing of Constructional Steelwork). CIS/2 enables seamless and integrated information exchange during the design and construction of steel framed structures. It was developed by the [[University of Leeds]] and the UK's Steel Construction Institute in the late 1990s, with inputs from [[Georgia Tech]], and was approved by the [[American Institute of Steel Construction]] as its data exchange format for structural steel in 2000.<ref name="NIST-CIS/2">{{cite web |title=SteelVis (aka CIS/2 Viewer) |url=https://www.nist.gov/services-resources/software/steelvis-aka-cis2-viewer |website=NIST |date=20 May 2011 |access-date=25 May 2020 |archive-date=19 June 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200619205054/https://www.nist.gov/services-resources/software/steelvis-aka-cis2-viewer |url-status=live }}</ref>
 
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 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. Based on the IFC standard, it allows vendor-neutral BIM data exchange. OpenBIM standards also include [[BIM Collaboration Format]] (BCF) for issue tracking and [[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 What is Open BIM and What Are Its Advantages Over Closed BIM?], ''ArchDaily'' 2 June 2022.

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.
