"The term Building Information Model emerged in 1992. It has evolved over time and its meaning is currently associated with an object-oriented modeling technology and a set of associated processes for producing, communicating, and analyzing building models.
Its origin is related to several other, older terms.
This paper records the evolution of BIM and related definitions over time through a systematic literature review.
We present a list of terms related to BIM and their meanings, organized by date of emergence, along with charts showing which are the most used over time, contributing to a better understanding of the meaning of BIM."
