I am trying to establish after quite a bit of research that gets me very little further advanced, whether there are people or practices out there that use the Uniclass system to generate the codes for layer naming using the X-XXXX-XX-XXXX - this being Role-Element/classification-Presentation-Description/alias (optional).

The latest BS1192:2007 only permits Uniclass which is a monster of a classification system (I copied and pasted from the CPIC site 138 A4 pages)

I purchased the BSI document 'Building Information Management - A standard Framework and Guide to BS 1192' by Mervyn Richards, but despite it costing a whopping Ł41.20 for a 135 page A4 paperback in large print and a lot of open space, I do not find sufficiently comprehensive information to be able to implement the BS.

Where do I go from here?
