Information Delivery Specification (IDS) dataset for code compliance checking in context of the City of Vienna

Description

The published data is research data from the publication "Information Delivery Specification (IDS) for code compliance checking in context of the City of Vienna", which was submitted to the Digital Building Permit conference 2025. This paper discusses the potential of using the open standard Information Delivery Specification (IDS) for automated code compliance checking (ACC).

IDS is an open specification based on XML for defining and verifying information requirements for digital building models in the IFC format (an open format for BIM models). Although IDS is initially intended for checking information requirements, it has the potential to be used for ACC as well. We have explored the possibility of recreating the checking rules implemented in Solibri Office using IDS. Additionally, we considered an existing extension to the IDS schema to improve its functionality.

This dataset contains the results of the mentioned research paper. This includes the created IDS files for the standard and for the extended IDS schema. The extended IDS schema was published in October 2024: https://doi.org/10.48436/012bs-f6776

Technical details

• The dataset contains 2 zip files:
  • One containing 8 standard IDS files
  • One containing 5 extended IDS files
• The IDS files cover the OIB guidelines 2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 4.
• The IDS files for OIB guidline 2.3 are divided according to the chapters 2 to 5.

Further details

• The 5 IDS files named "extended IDS" correspond to the adapted IDS schema. Therefore, commercial IDS software cannot process these files.
