		+	An information container breakdown structure and a federation strategy together establish the rules for combining and segregating information containers - where an information container is: ‘…the unique identification of a file. For a construction project, an information container could be a cost plan, a programme, a drawing, a geometric model etc'. Ref Information management according to BS EN ISO 19650 Guidance Part 1: Concepts, second edition.

	NB. The process of federation is criticised for not being genuine collaboration. This may be resolved by the development of Level 3 BIM, which involves the creation of a single, online, project model worked on and available to all parties. Whilst the benefits of this are clear, a step change is required in interoperability and collaboration, and the resulting copyright and liability issues may be more difficult to resolve than they seem to have been for level 2.
