The ISO 19650 is a series of documents that cover the concepts and principles for information management at a stage of maturity described as “building information modelling (BIM) according to the ISO 19650 series" (https://iso.org/standard/68078.html). The BIM Dictionary includes many of the series’ terms identified in the “Terms and Definitions” sections within published ISO 19650 parts. Other terms from the body of the standards are also included, and - where possible - explanations, examples, and illustrations are added. This BIM Dictionary entry is a growing compilation of these terms.
