Abstract
Collaborative work processes from the perspective of Building Information Modeling demand technical and organizational information requirements from managers. In response, data schema Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) has been making significant entities and domain inclusions with a semantic level capable of supporting OpenBIM interoperability throughout the project lifecycle. This paper applies Design Science Research methodology to explore how the IFC should be specified so that BIM actors can meet the representation context of a project translating data through Inheritance Diagrams, which offer auxiliary contributions. The Protocol developed to address the research problem revealed that some information requirements had not been met, as the universe of optional data in the schema is broad. Therefore, an artifact is created to fully meet the demand and is validated by different software. This reveals that the insertion of data can be performed to meet the desired interoperability and stands a valuable tool for BIM actors.
