IDS – Information DeLivery Specification.

ids-logo_with-letters
The Information Delivery Specification (IDS) is a new data format developed by buildingSMART International to define a machine-readable definition of exchange information requirements.

IDS-files are vendor neutral and can be imported as digital rules into model checking software to validate requirements on IFC models automatically.

IDS supports the checking of object types, attributes, property sets and quantity sets, materials, classifications and Part-of Relations.
