AIA Board of Directors Approved Statement on Interoperability
AIA Board of Directors approved a statement on interoperability supporting the use of open standards for Building Information Models.
Position Statement 31. Interoperability
The AIA believes that all industry-supporting software must facilitate, not inhibit, project planning, design, construction, commissioning and lifecycle management. This software must support non-proprietary, open standards for auditable information exchange and allow for confident information exchanges across applications and across time. This is best accomplished through professional, public- and private sector adoption of open standards. The AIA encourages its members and other industry organizations to assume a leadership role in the ongoing development of open standards. (approved December 2009)
The above is an excerpt from the "Directory of Public Policies and Position Statements" (PDF) issued December 2009 by the AIA Board of Directors.
We offer this as a challenge to other associations to take a similar position or to endorse the AIA's statement.
