Özet

This study presents an application scenario developed to demonstrate the applicability of the Information Delivery Specification (IDS) standard in automating information validation processes within Building

Information Modeling (BIM) projects. In this example, the fire resistance ratings (FireRating) of wall and door elements in a BIM model were validated using IDS-based rules. The validation process was structured in three main stages. First, an IDS file was created using Solibri IDS Editor, defining information requirements related to the selected elements. Second, this file was imported into Solibri Office, where the relevant elements were automatically filtered and verified using classification-based methods. Third, the detected data inconsistencies were reported to stakeholders using the BIM Collaboration Format (BCF) to facilitate feedback. The findings indicate that the use of IDS enables the early identification of data deficiencies and may offer advantages in terms of time efficiency and systematic control compared to manual validation processes. This study provides a practical example of how IDS can be implemented and aims to serve as an introductory reference for users unfamiliar with its use in BIM workflows.
