To eliminate ambiguities for the architecture, engineering and construction industry, Meridian Project Systems (MPS) has joined the International Alliance for Interoperability, an organization dedicated to open standards. This announcement ensures that MPS will continue playing a defining role in aecXML, one of the working domains of the International Alliance for Interoperability.
aecXML is an open standard for the AEC industry based on the eXtensible Markup Language (XML), one of the newest internet standards for data interchange. The initiative strives to develop an XML schema to describe information specific to the exchanges between participants involved in designing, constructing and operating buildings, plants, infrastructure and facilities.
The theory behind the aecXML initiative is to “open up” the industry so that AEC professionals are all on the same page when working on or managing a project. For details: www.mps.com
