The benchmark provides a framework to evaluate and describe the present ability of existing software tools to use (i.e. read and visualise, import, manage, analyse, export) CityGML and IFC models and understand their performance while doing so, both in terms of information loss and in terms of ability to handle large datasets. For this purpose we compile the experiences of volunteering participants, who perform a guided study to test the software they are most familiar with against a few provided datasets structured in open standards. The aim of the tests is to improve the knowledge of the state of the art in the software support for GeoBIM open standards and to identify points for improvement.
