Abstract: | With the increasing application of information and computer technology in the construction
industry, building information modeling (BIM) has become not only advanced but also practical
technology, which plays an important role in construction industry. BIM content libraries (BIMCLs)
is a data system used for the building component storage and management in the building information
modeling, which provide information-rich building components to create digital representation of
building facilities. However, there is not much research in developing and structuring a BIMCL. This
research investigated popular BIM content libraries, and established the evaluation standard of
organization structure for BIMCL websites based on analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The outcome
of this research will provides BIMCL website developers with theoretical foundation and practical
application guidelines. |
