There can be found different definitions of BIM – Building Information Modeling on the internet:

Some BIM definitions speak about the digital representation of the building process, others refer to software, or to a collection of building data in a d-base.

The US National Building Information Model Standard Project Committee has the following definition: “Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility. A BIM is a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life-cycle; defined as existing from earliest conception to demolition.”
