COBie MicroMVD
The following MicroMVD vocabulary can be used to check against the successfully exchange of COBie - Construction Operations Building Information Exchange data.
Note that the vocabulary is not currently exhaustive.
| Test definition | Justification |
|---|---|
Given the IFC file "{file}" | An IFC-SPF file is the expected format for COBie data |
Then the file should be an {schema} file | COBie data must conform to a client-nominated schema. |
Then the element {id} is an {ifc_class} | COBie data must only apply to maintainable assets. By default, the COBie standard states that an asset is maintainable when it belongs to a particular IFC class. A client may also provide a list of IFC classes that define a maintainable asset to override the default list. Correct IFC classification forms the basis of all maintainable asset categorisation. |
Then all {ifc_class} elements have a name matching the pattern "{pattern}" | Although COBie does not mandate a naming scheme, COBie elements are identified by their name, and so a consistent naming pattern will be established with the client and will be audited. |
Then all {ifc_class} elements have an? {property_path} property | A large variety of COBie data is stored in property sets. |
Then all {ifc_class} elements have an? {property_path} property | A large variety of COBie data is stored in property sets. |
Then all {ifc_class} elements have an? {attribute} attribute | Some COBie data, such as Description is stored in element attributes. |
Then there is a site named "{name}" | COBie data groups assets into facilities and sites. |
Then there is a building named "{name}" | COBie data groups assets into facilities and sites. |
