Emerging and evolving terminology
These terms are in active use but their meaning, scope or standardisation is not settled. Each entry shows the evidence we rely on and is reviewed every 90 days. We distinguish published standards from marketing language, and we do not treat social-media trends as authoritative.
Under research
Candidates the editors are tracking but have not yet published, because evidence of stable usage is still being gathered: machine-readable information requirements, automated compliance checking, digital product passports, BIM/GIS convergence, AI agents in construction and Model Context Protocol applications in AEC.
