Pre-contract BEP
On projects where ISO 19650 Framework has implemented a term, Pre-appointment BEP is used instead of the PAS 1192 term Pre-contract BEP. The meaning is the same, it communicates on the delivery team’s intended approach to the information management process.
Post-contract BEP

It should be submitted at […]
geometrical
This is an ISO 19650 term which replaces the PAS1192 term “graphical”. Geometrical is more appropriate to describe spatial positioning and relationships
Level of information need
The term describes the details and amount of information required. It is a framework which defines the extent and granularity of data to be exchanged. The term related to information which is exchanged and delivered throughout the life cycle of built assets Level of information need describes the Exchange Information Requirements (EIR) as part of […]
graphical
The PAS1192 term has been replaced by ISO19650 term ‘geometrical’ Geometrical is more appropriate to describe spatial positioning and relationships
non-graphical
This PAS1192 term is equivalent to the ISO19650 term ‘non-geometrical’

CDE area
ELI5-S1: BIM Basics E5: CDE areas and states Area and section imply moving information from one place to another. This is not necessary in a CDE. It is the state of the information container that is important, not where it is stored
CDE state
ELI5-S1: BIM Basics E5: CDE areas and states This term replaces the ‘CDE area’ PAS 1192 term, the idea is the location of the information (container) is not important but its state. Area and section imply moving information from one place to another. This is not necessary in a CDE.

Transition [ISO19650] Transition is used to denote change (in the state of the information container)

Level of model definition
The PAS1192 term is replaced by ‘Level of information need’ an ISO19650 term Level of information need is a more generic term than any of the existing “Level of …” terms used in 1192. It is not supposed to be shortened to an acronym.
Level of detail (LOD)
Level of detail (LOD) it is a term introduced by PAS 1192, used in relation with management of the progression and uses of information. Typically referred to geometrical information There is general confusion with the use of the term, due to range of other interrelated terms often used without due explanation. The PAS1192-2:2013 has been […]
Level of information (LOI)
The term used in relation to management of the progression and uses of information. There is general confusion with the use of the term, due to range of other interrelated terms often used without due explanation.

Model
An electronic, three-dimensional representation of built asset or facility elements with associated intelligentattribute data (“Facility Data”). A Model term used in PAS 1192 specification has been replaced by term ‘Information model’ in ISO 19650 set of standards.

Assignment matrix
Responsibility matrix [ISO19650] In ISO 19650 there is a principle to develop responsibility matrices to cover information management activities and information delivery. Responsibility matrix [PAS1192] The former is illustrated as the assignment matrix in BS EN ISO 19650‑2:2019, Annex A.
