The background factor behind the inability to feel the effects of digitalization may be the “data enclosure syndrome.” We should adopt a new mindset and utilize databases. Databases input and update data based on a data model. A data model abstracts and systematizes the information structure. The origin of BIM is computer graphics (CG), and the resulting creations are referred to as shape models. The 3D shape model of BIM is primarily a solid model. BIM conducts design processes for architecture, structure, equipment, and production concurrently and proactively. By leveraging design data, we aim for overall optimization. To achieve this, it is necessary to standardize 3D product models and enable data exchange and sharing. For automation, standardizing terminology is essential so that machines can understand the data.
