Framework of an Integrated Information System with OpenBIM Based Library for New Korean Style House

This research introduces the roadmap of Establishment of Korean Traditional House Component Library Project (EKTHCLP) which developed an open BIM-based library system for new Korean traditional house components. In the project, the authors defined a parametric library by an XML-based approach; implemented the library to a browser and then developed a DB web contents Service which can be easily accessed by users. Using this system, users will be able to adjust the parameters to their wills and apply the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) files generated from the browser to their projects regardless of software package selection. Because of additional information added in the IFC files, the translator for the generated IFC files from the browser to readable IFC file is under developing. The research stated a new methodology to develop an open BIM-based parametric library system for traditional house components. Specifically, the authors extended an XML schema from the mechanical engineering to represent traditional house components in a parametric way, and implemented a pilot browser based on this XML approach for the open BIM-based library establishment.
