Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www.iso.org/

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 59, Buildings and civil engineering works,
Subcommittee SC 13, Organization of information about construction works, in collaboration with the
European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 442, Building Information
Modelling (BIM), in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN
(Vienna Agreement).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 12006:2007), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— model has been changed and adapted for multiple implementations of dictionaries;
— UML and XML have been introduced in informative annexes;
— API specification has been included;
— relationships among concepts have been made mandatory and concepts have been made more rigid,
specific and object-oriented.
A list of all parts in the ISO 12006 series can be found on the ISO website.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A
complete listing of these bodies can be found at www.iso.org/members.html.

Introduction
This document defines a specification for an extensible taxonomy model, which provides the ability
to add concepts like subjects and properties, describe subject by means of properties, and to define
relationships between concepts. The set of properties associated with a subject provide the formal
definition of the subject as well as its typical behaviour. Properties can have predefined values; and
they can be associated with units.
The model makes it possible to describe multiple dictionaries based on the same model. Each concept
belongs to one data dictionary. The concepts in one data dictionary can be related to concepts in another
data dictionary.
Every entity in the model has a universal unique identifier. The model allows users to describe the
development and maintenance of a data dictionary by providing change requests; and it also allows
describing the experts reviewing change requests. The model described in this document is proposed
as a bridge between classification systems as described in ISO 12006-2 and product modelling as
described in ISO 10303-41, ISO 10303-221, ISO 15926-2 and ISO 16739-1.
This document supports the requirements for implementing the concepts described in ISO 23386 and
ISO 23387. Not all the concepts from ISO 23386 are provided by the model described in this document.
To simplify and support implementation of dictionaries based on this framework, This document
[10] [11]
includes UML model and XML schema as Annexes C and D respectively. An API specification is
added as Annex B to standardize and define the minimum functionality to extract and exchange data
between dictionaries based on this document.

Part 3:
Framework for object-oriented information
1 Scope
This document specifies a language-independent information model which can be used for the
development of dictionaries used to store or provide information about construction works. The model
is extended by instantiating content, such as further objects and their relationships, allowing the
content to serve as an ontology, taxonomy, meronomy, lexicon and thesaurus.
NOTE 1 Lexicons are resources for comprising lexical entries for a given language
NOTE 2 Meronomies are type of hierarchies which deals with part-whole relationships
NOTE 3 Ontologies are formal, explicit specification of a shared conceptualizationIt enables classification
systems, information models, object models, data templates and process models to be cross-referenced from
within a common framework.
This document provides the description of an API allowing the interconnection of data dictionaries as
described in ISO 23386.
