Abstract
This paper is conducted as literary research with the
objective of comparing and analyzing stateof- the-art BIM
related product data definition methods and evaluating
their potential in construction supply chains. Large
number of product types, national codes, classification
systems; and the need to support multiple languages,
cause construction industry supply chains to be more
fragmented than in manufacturing industry. Product
libraries entail some essential information contents,
which have been recognized as: identification,
classification, composition and performance. Product data
significance is found from its availability through the
life cycle of the building. The life cycle availability
point of view is emphasized in product library
applications and software interoperability. Software has
to be able to identify the terms of product comparability
within searches and data exchange, and instance them into
software objects. To enable the software vendors and
product manufacturers to output interoperable data, BIM
based procedures require commonly agreed information
exchange methods
