: done successfully with BIM platforms. This means that integration of heritage-specific metadata into BIM models has been done successfully using BIM platforms, and it is possible to reference these researches
: done successfully with integration of external-BIM-environment platforms. This means that integration of heritage-specific metadata has been done successfully using software/platforms that are not usually considered BIM
: never done, but potentially feasible. This means that integration of heritage-specific metadata has never been attempted, but it reasonable to suppose that it could be done given the available technologies
