BCF: BIM Collaboration Format

BCF is the format that might become standard to share issues found in BIM models from one platform to another
Català - Castellano - Deutsch
BCF is an open standard to enable workflow communication between different BIM (Building Information Modeling) software tools. I came across this format by the first time while whatching a Solibri Model Checker Demo. It is currently in the process of being accepted as an Open Standard by BuildingSmart. It works together with IFC models, the idea with BCF is to separate the “communication” from the actual model. You can watch a short video about the Collaboration Workflow it would allow:

Another example of BCF in use can be seen in this video about IFC (minute 41:20)
