------------------------------------------
Summary: Parser implementration for IFC files
Key: TIKA-1220
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1220
Project: Tika
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: parser
Reporter: Lewis John McGibbney
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.5
The Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) [0] data model is intended to describe
building and construction industry data. For the sake of argument, it can be
considered as a more intelligent successor to the .dwg data models used within
CAD models.
I've tracked down a potential 3rd party library [1] which we maybe able to wrap
and use within Tika however the provided software packages are licensed under:
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/de/ so I am currently over on
legal-discuss@ in an attempt to see if it is possible to wrap some code and
contribute it to tika-parsers.
When I get feedback from legal-discuss, and if this is a go-ahead, I'll need to
help the developers package the code as a Maven artifact(s), then I will
progress with writing the implementation.
