Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a paradigm shift from the traditional Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry practices to digital construction delivery processes. BIM provides the capabilities of cost reduction, increase quality, enhanced productivity, and on-time delivery. Despite the numerous advantages of BIM, its adoption in AEC is vulnerable to confrontation. Data interoperability is often cited as a significant barrier to BIM adoption; there is a limited focus on other dimensions of interoperability. In other research areas, such as information systems and electronic government, the evolution of interoperability construct is debated beyond data interoperability. These dimensions of interoperability have yet to be explored in the AEC industry. This research article aims to introduce the BIM Interoperability Adoption Model (BIAM). For this purpose, we investigate the interoperability in multiple dimensions according to the European Interoperability framework and develop BIM Interoperability Model with factors affecting each interoperability dimension. BIAM offers a comprehensive assessment of technical, organizational, semantic, and legal interoperability in intra –organizational AEC units, inter-organizational AEC, and BIM partner organizations and assists as a model in assessing the level of compliance and maturity interoperability. BIAM is proposed to work as a link between the organizational, semantic, legal, and technical factors to determine the interoperability issues in the early stages of BIM adoption. The BIAM model addresses interoperability factors and provides recommendations and specifications to help AEC firms to collaborate more effectively by improving interoperability activities, organizational mapping processes, and improving legal coordination. Furthermore, opportunities for future research related to BIM interoperability are discussed, and addressing these aspects of interoperability will make collaborative project delivery well informed, more structured, and effective.

建筑信息模型（BIM）是从传统的建筑，工程和建筑（AEC）行业实践向数字建筑交付过程的范式转变。BIM提供降低成本，提高质量，提高生产率和按时交付的功能。尽管BIM有许多优点，但在AEC中采用BIM容易受到对抗。数据互操作性经常被认为是采用BIM的重大障碍；对互操作性的其他方面的关注有限。在其他研究领域，例如信息系统和电子政府中，除了数据互操作性之外，还讨论了互操作性结构的演变。互操作性的这些方面尚未在AEC行业中进行探索。本文旨在介绍BIM互操作性采用模型（BIAM）。为此，我们根据欧洲互操作性框架研究了多个维度的互操作性，并开发了具有影响每个互操作性维度的因素的BIM互操作性模型。BIAM对组织内AEC单位，组织间AEC和BIM合作伙伴组织中的技术，组织，语义和法律互操作性进行全面评估，并作为评估合规性和成熟度互操作性水平的模型提供帮助。提议将BIAM用作组织，语义，法律和技术因素之间的链接，以确定在采用BIM的早期阶段的互操作性问题。BIAM模型解决了互操作性因素，并提供了建议和规范，以通过改善互操作性活动，组织映射过程和改善法律协调来帮助AEC公司更有效地进行协作。此外，还讨论了与BIM互操作性有关的未来研究机会，并且解决互操作性的这些方面将使协作项目交付充分了解信息，更加结构化和有效。
