Exchange Information Model

The GIIG Glossary, published by the Government & Industry Interoperability Group in 2022, defines an Exchange Information Model (EIM) as: ‘…a collection of exchanged information containers by a single BS1192-4 Construction Operations Building Information Exchange (COBie) transmittal file and defined by its unique filename, ISO19650 status, version and other metadata all in accordance with the applicable information standard. The EIM forms the basis for the automated verification and reporting aspect of the Information Management Platform (IMP), and for its storage to support presentation and exploitation.’
