IDS4ALL Converter
This IDS converter, developed by Simon Fischer, Harald Urban, Konstantin Höbart and Christian Schranz from the Digital Construction Process research department at TU Wien(https://www.tuwien.at/cee/ibb/zdb), converts information requirements from an Excel file into an IDS file. In practice, information requirements are often defined in tabular form in Excel. This tool should help to easily transfer these into IDS and use the full functionality of IDS.
