attribut de codification concaténé, nomenclaturé [comme suit: ...] concatenated [item-]coding attribute, defined / formatted [as follows: ...] Explanation: [attribut de codification concaténé] nomenclaturé comme suit = [concatenated item coding strings] created according to the following format: In formal language theory and computer programming, string concatenation is the operation of joining character strings end-to-end. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concatenation HERE: -- codification = item code, not "coding" as in "writing program code" -- "la nomenclature" is used in the sense of "classification / inventory system" i.e. "defining a system used to organise information". BIM = Building Information Modelling / Built-environment Information Modelling 1. Introduction If all construction project information is to be held centrally, for access by all along the entire project timeline, as it is in built-environment information modelling (BIM), then this information should be organised using a classification system that supports these needs https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/c148/b03b1b946b4d817dc9cdfc... https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Specification of BIM codin...

You could make a parallel with the "Harmonized System nomenclature" of all imaginable products and services that could be imported / exported - each item/element of that "nomenclature" is given an "attribute" that "attribute" being the "code" corresponding to that item/element of the list. Combined Nomenclature The Combined Nomenclature (CN) is a tool for classifying goods, set up to meet the requirements both of the Common Customs Tariff and of the EU's external trade statistics. The CN is also used in intra-EU trade statistics. It is a further development (with special EU-specific subdivisions) of the World Customs Organization's Harmonized System nomenclature. This is a systematic list of commodities applied by most trading nations (and also used for international trade negotiations). https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/business/calculation-c... http://www.wcoomd.org/en/topics/nomenclature/overview/what-i... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 hrs (2018-10-29 13:17:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- another parallel: to give "codes" to subdivisions, you simply concatenate the codes for the subdivisions to the code for the whole group The HS code consists of 6-digits. The first two digits designate the HS Chapter. The second two digits designate the HS heading. The third two digits designate the HS subheading. HS code 1006.30, for example indicates Chapter 10 (Cereals), Heading 06 (Rice), and Subheading 30 (Semi-milled or wholly milled rice, whether or not polished or glazed). 10 = (Cereals) 10+06 = (Cereals) => (Rice) 10+06+30 = (Cereals) => (Rice) => (Semi-milled or wholly milled rice, whether or not polished or glazed) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonized_System "attribut de codification concaténé" is about "codes" created by concatenation that are an "attribute" for each item in the BIM database. |
