1.1 这一做法涵盖了建筑信息的组织，以支持知情决策。本实践中考虑的数据类型包括文本、数字和图形数据。该组织系统适用于广泛的数据收集和组织任务，从对单个建筑的常规深入分析，到必须在短时间内对许多建筑进行评估和排序的情况。 1.2 组织结构基于建筑构件和相关现场工作分类UNIFORMAT II（分类 第1557页 )，是一种根据建筑的构造和功能对建筑元素进行分组的系统。 1.3 UNIFORMAT II的使用提供了一组公认的汇总级别，这些级别与建筑设计、施工和管理行业相关。 1.4 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认的标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 4.1 使用此做法可以组织描述任何大小的新建筑或现有建筑的信息。 这里提出的概念也可以应用于其他类别的建筑，其中还没有对应于UNIFORMAT II的标准。 4.2 UNIFORMAT II的层次结构使用户能够集中精力在功能一致的组中构建元素。它可以由启动数据系统作为设施标准的管理员应用，也可以由报告建筑条件的顾问应用。 4.2.1 主题的一致安排方法加快了原始文件的准备和使用，并简化了比较来自多个来源的信息的过程。 4.3 这种做法适用于安排单个报告的内容、管理物理文件以及自动化数据应用程序。操作商用软件的个人计算机能够满足这种实践的功能要求。 4.4 这种做法提供了一个一致和全面的大纲，适用于跟踪一栋或多栋建筑中特定建筑条件的演变。它既可以应用于历史建筑数据，也可以应用于新信息。 4.5 这一做法的管理将揭示在以前不依赖系统方法的数据收集工作中被忽视的建筑数据类别。 系统和元素的综合层次结构，很容易显示分布在类别和级别之间的信息量和深度。可用信息的模式突出显示了类别之间的空白。还可以快速关注编目数据的质量和充分性，以确定是否存在适当的细节水平来满足决策者的需求。

1.1 This practice covers the organization of building information to support informed decision making. The kinds of data considered in this practice include text, numeric, and graphic data. The system of organization is applicable to a wide range of data collection and organization tasks from routine in-depth analysis of a single building, to situations where many buildings must be evaluated and prioritized in a short time frame. 1.2 The organizational structure is based on Classification for Building Elements and Related Sitework—UNIFORMAT II (Classification E1557 ), a system which groups building elements according to the way buildings are constructed and function. 1.3 The use of UNIFORMAT II provides a set of recognized summary levels that are relevant throughout the industries that design, construct, and manage buildings. 1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 4.1 Use this practice to organize information that describes new or existing buildings of any size. The concepts presented here can also be applied to other categories of construction where a standard corresponding to UNIFORMAT II does not yet exist. 4.2 The hierarchical structure of UNIFORMAT II enables the user to focus on building elements in functionally consistent groups. It can be applied by an administrator initiating a data system as a facility standard, as well as a consultant reporting on building conditions. 4.2.1 A consistent method of arrangement for subject matter expedites the preparation and use of source documents, and simplifies the process of comparing information from several sources. 4.3 This practice is suitable for arranging the content of individual reports, managing physical files, as well as automated data applications. Personal computers operating commercially available software are able to meet the functional requirements of this practice. 4.4 This practice provides a consistent and comprehensive outline suitable to track the evolution of specific building conditions in one or many buildings. It can be applied to historical building data as well as new information. 4.5 Administration of this practice will reveal categories of building data that have been overlooked in prior data gathering efforts that did not rely on a systems approach. The comprehensive hierarchy of Systems and Elements, readily displays the amount and depth of information distributed among the categories and levels. The pattern of available information highlights voids among the categories. It is also possible to quickly focus on the quality and sufficiency of cataloged data to determine whether an appropriate level of detail exists to address the needs of decision makers.
