Lewis John McGibbney created TIKA-1220: ------------------------------------------
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.
