SINTEF Building and Infrastructure Håvard Bell & Lars Bjørkhaug  IFC/IFD enables one common platform for: IFC / IFD / IDM – one platform. Fits all Knowledge databases Knowledge and rules can be formatted in a way that enables automatic control. Project databases Project databases Project information from different phases of the project is stored on objects and object properties. Products and product properties carries the unique identifiers from IFD dictionaries. Product databases

SINTEF Building and Infrastructure Håvard Bell & Lars Bjørkhaug Adding semantic from ontologies enables:  Two way links between different sources of knowledge  Language independent interlinking of knowledge  Linking of knowledge to material, products, elements...  Multiple views to the same knowledge  ”Context sensitive” knowledge (wisdom)
