BIM and GIS: From the two sides of one and the same coin; [BIM und GIS: Von den zwei Seiten ein und derselben Medaille]

Abstract

This editorially generated abstract outlines the topic indicated by the title “BIM and GIS: From the two sides of one and the same coin.” The subject is relevant to work involving building information modeling, bim, gis integration, geospatial data, where location-based information can help connect data, operational context, and decision-making. Geospatial workflows often combine reliable source data, suitable collection methods, clear data structures, analysis, and accessible visualization. These elements can help practitioners understand patterns, compare alternatives, communicate complex information, and coordinate activities across teams or organizations. The practical value of a technology or approach depends on the quality and currency of the underlying information, interoperability between systems, and the ability of users to interpret results in context. For researchers and professionals, the topic also raises questions about implementation, governance, usability, and how digital tools can support real-world needs. Where appropriate, GIS and related geospatial methods can support planning, monitoring, documentation, and evaluation by making the spatial dimension of a problem explicit. This description is based on the bibliographic title and does not claim specific methods, measurements, findings, or conclusions that cannot be verified from the source record. Readers should consult the original article for its complete argument, evidence, and recommendations. The source record lists Jaud H. as the author(s). The source record places the contribution in issue 6 of gis.Business (2021), on pages 16-19.
