#37 - Plain Language Questions (PLQs)

Plain Language Questions (PLQs) are a type of question that is used in Building Information Modeling (BIM) to help users understand and interact with the data. PLQs are typically asked in a natural language format, such as English, and are designed to be easy to understand by people with no prior knowledge of BIM.

PLQs can be used to ask a variety of questions about BIM data, such as:

• What is the name of this object?

• What is the type of this object?

• What are the properties of this object?

• What are the relationships between this object and other objects?

• What are the constraints on this object?

• What are the changes that have been made to this object?

PLQs can be asked in a variety of ways, such as:

• Through a graphical user interface (GUI)

• Through a command-line interface (CLI)

• Through a web-based interface

• Through a mobile app

PLQs can be used to improve the usability of BIM by making it easier for users to find and understand the information they need. PLQs can also be used to improve the interoperability of BIM by making it easier for different software applications to exchange information.

PLQs are a powerful tool that can be used to improve the usability and interoperability of BIM. PLQs are easy to use and can be asked in a variety of ways. PLQs can be used to ask a variety of questions about BIM data. PLQs can improve the usability of BIM by making it easier for users to find and understand the information they need. PLQs can improve the interoperability of BIM by making it easier for different software applications to exchange information.

Here are some additional questions that can be asked using PLQs:

• What are the costs associated with this object?

• What are the risks associated with this object?

• What are the opportunities associated with this object?

• What are the impacts of this object on the environment?

• What are the impacts of this object on society?

• What are the impacts of this object on the economy?

PLQs can be a valuable tool for understanding and interacting with BIM data.
