ICONDA. The international construction database
Abstract
CIB-working group W57, which deals with building documentation and information transfer, has for many years studied the feasibility of an international database specifically for construction and its many facets. The solution now available is ICONDA, which contains 130000 references in English to literature published throughout the world on construction, civil engineering, architecture and town planning. The references will increase at the rate of 35000 a year. What ICONDA is all about, how is compiled and how it works is explained here by its prime mover, the Director of the Information Centre for Regional Planning and Building Construction of the Fraunhofer-Society in Stuttgart.
