Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) is a data schema for representing buildings and associated activities for designing, constructing, and maintaining them. It may be encoded as XML (markup language commonly used for document-related data) or SPF (STEP Physical File commonly used for engineering-related data).
The resulting data encoding may reside in a file or as part of Internet communication between desktop computers, servers, and mobile devices. Data may represent an entire project, a subset of information within a project, or changes to data within a project. To support interoperability across hundreds of software applications, industry domains, and regions worldwide, IFC is designed to accommodate many different configurations and levels of detail. Model View Definitions (MVDs) are encoded in a format called MVDXML, and define allowable values at particular attributes of particular data types.
MVDXML is currently defined in one version, 1.0. Www.pantura-project.eu/Downloads/Semantic Web Technology_Pantura background paper.pdf. Interopérabilité construction / SIG. BIM - The sky is the limit
