Add IDS checking to IfcOpenShell

berlotti commented 3 years ago

Outline

The buildingSMART standard to define IFC based 'Information Delivery Specifications' (IDS) has a first version (and probably a final version around summer). It would be cool to have the ability to validate IDS against an IFC file.

Details

The IDS standard is being developed and worked on here https://github.com/buildingSMART/IDS/blob/master/Development/

Expected Outcome

Add IFC file + IDS file and get check result back (preferably in BCF)

Future Possibilities

Only limited by your imagination....

Project Properties

Skills

XML, XSD restrictions and patterns.

Difficulty

Easy to medium (depending on knowledge about IFC)

I believe this is already possible as part of BIMTester, sans the BCF output, but addition of BCF support I believe is too small a task for GSoC. https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/issues/1349

As discussed I would like to give it a try and further develop this feature by:

[ ] developing and making sure IDS checking works against new XSD
[ ] creating some IDS samples and wiki to make it easier to start for new people from AEC like myself :)
[ ] add the BCF output of such report
[ ] add IDS authoring and integrate with BIMTester web UI

I'm submitting the GSoC proposal, also available here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15oQDhYrApuHsI1Zee5bDvSqRoUz67xHMr79hdFJUoZ8/edit?usp=sharing
