However, in practice, most of the GIS models are relatively poorly attributed, semantically. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a process involving the generation and management of digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of building, which is most used in small scale projects. In order to address the target problem of completing the semantic attribution of 3D digital city model, a framework of integrating BIM technology into GIS is demonstrated. A new concept of city information modeling (CIM) is proposed with the goal of bringing great benefits to the urban construction and city management. The composition of city information model is discussed. The data schema behind BIM and GIS (i.e. IFC and CityGML) are compared and mapped with each other. A case study of land planning of campus is demonstrated to present the potential benefits of CIM. date: 2014-09 date_type: published official_url: http://www.itcon.org/2014/17 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Journal Article verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1664884 language_elements: English lyricists_name: Ma, Ling lyricists_id: LMAAX73 actors_name: Ma, Ling actors_id: LMAAX73 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Journal of Information Technology in Construction volume: 19 pagerange: 292-307 issn: 1874-4753 citation: Xu, X; Ding, L; Luo, H; Ma, L; (2014) From building information modeling to city information modeling.
