01
Asset Management
bimei:term/asset-management
BIM-enabled Asset Management is characterized by linking virtual objects and spaces within a model to an external database for the purpose of operating and maintaining a FacilityFacilityA physical structure or installation, including related site works, serving one or more main purpose. A Facility is defined within a single geographical boundary, organisational unit or production process [adapted from ISO 12911:2012 and ISO 14064-1:2006] or a portfolio of facilities

Information Lifecycle
bimei:term/information-lifecycle
The full duration that InformationInformationThe facts provided or learned about events, things, processes or concepts that has a particular meaning within a certain context [adapted from the Oxford Dictionary and ISO/IEC 2382-1:1993] is usable. The Information Lifecycle may span a single or multiple Information CycleInformation CycleA single revolution of Information along an Information Route back to the Information Milestone that it started from. For example, if an asset is reused three times, it\'s information have completed three Information Cycless. An Information Cyle is different than an Asset Life CycleAsset Life CycleRefers to all asset phases: from planning, through design, construction and use/maintenance till disposal. Asset Life Cycle phases are typically used for establishing change in asset utilization, depreciation, Life Cycle Cost, Life Cycle Expenditure, and Life Cycle Assessment as the InformationInformationThe facts provided or learned about events, things, processes or concepts that has a particular meaning within a certain context [adapted from the Oxford Dictionary and ISO/IEC 2382-1:1993] about an AssetAssetAn asset is an entity of value. In Asset Management, an asset refers to physical entities of tangible financial value similar to buildings, land, equipment, and inventory may persist even if the Asset is decommissioned, demolished, or no longer available

Interoperability
bimei:term/interoperability
The ability of diverse systems (and organizations) to work together seamlessly without DataDataA reinterpretable representation of Information which can be collected/parsed with or without the human actor. Data is either statically embedded within Documents and Models or drive their dynamic generation/modification [Adapted from ISO/IEC 2382-1:1993] loss and without a special effort. Interoperability may refer to systems, processes, file formats, etc. Interoperability is not synonymous with openness. For example, interoperable file formats can be proprietary-closed (e.g. RVT), proprietary-open (e.g. DWF) and non-proprietary (e.g.IFC)

Asset Coupling
bimei:term/asset-coupling
The development and/or maintenance of digital assets so they accurately match the physical AssetAssetAn asset is an entity of value. In Asset Management, an asset refers to physical entities of tangible financial value similar to buildings, land, equipment, and inventorys they represent. Asset Coupling translates changes in one asset (e.g. a change in the state or location of a component in real space) to changes in the coupled asset (in virtual space). Asset Coupling is applicable by Asset ScaleAsset ScaleA Built Asset of specific comparative size within a specified Asset Hierarchy.
