The VBIS Asset Object Classification Coding (tags) provides a basis of a Standard for asset and data classification and information exchange.

The VBIS Syntax provides for interoperability of systems within a Common Data Environment (CDE) by facilitating embedded search and display instructions in CDE applications that is transportable as computer systems and applications evolve and new functionality and systems becomes available.

The Syntax supports data security by:

  • Obeying the access restraints put in place by the application

  • Permitting access to be restricted to a specific area or a specific document.

In principle it provides a means of calling a website and passing search parameters to the site to initiate a search and display results using a query string as part of a uniform resource locator (URL) which assigns values to specified parameters. e.g.

<URL>/?proj=5435&type=drawing&tag=ME-PU-CES

<URL>/?proj=5435&type=drawing&uniclass=”Pr_65 53 86”
