Technical Domain
Purpose
The Technical Domain has overall responsibility to explore and coordinate the investigation and where desirable facilitate buildingSMART’s engagement with fundamental technical advancements which may enhance or accelerate the provision of robust openBIM solutions to users. The Technical Domain’s specific remit is the coordination of the core technical development of the IFC model and associated technical standards to safely, rigorously and in a commercially viable manner support the development of openBIM to fully meet users’ needs and ambitions.
Steering Committee
The Technical Domain is led by members of industry and academia. The steering committee facilitates the project and activities of the domain and the buildingSMART groups it sponsors while developing a Technology Road Map for buildingSMART International.
