Practitioners and academics often struggle to understand the still-evolving relationships between them and how they can support day-to-day activities. In this research we collect data on BIM standards developed by CEN/TC 442. The standards are presented in a series of prototype online dashboards and analysed to study how they are related to each other and to the different aspects. The results can help standardisation bodies, professionals, and academics understand how key concepts are covered in standards, and explore how they are linked to other domains.
