A free guide to the BS EN ISO 19650 series is now available:

| UK BIM Alliance - BS EN ISO 19650 Guidance |
The guide sets the scene of why digital information management is important and what the rationale for the 19650 series was. It then looks at the legal and security implications and in particular signposts the CIC BIM Protocol and the PAS 1192-5 standard.
The second half of the publication looks at the information delivery cycle and provides some practical examples.
It's good to see references to NBS resources. In particular:
- Secton 6.5 looking level of information need. The guide references the work in progress here at a CEN level and also the free-to-use LOD and LOI guides on the NBS BIM Toolkit.
- Section 6.6 gives a good overview on how to classify information and uses examples from Uniclass 2015.
- Finally, Section 7 looks at the National Annex to BS EN ISO 19650-2 and provides guidance on the naming of information containers and associated metadata with respect to information delivery using common data environments. I blogged on a similar subject earlier in the year and NBS colleagues have been in discussions with the UK BIM Alliance team on this topic.
With respect to the National Annex, expect further alignment between the Form of Information and Roles Tables in Uniclass in the next month or two.
So - a good publication - great to see that support such as this is being produced for free for the industry and well done to those that have given up their time to contribute.
