**Warning: IDS is not yet formally released.**

An IDS file is simply an XML file, with its schema defined in XSD. You may open any existing IDS file and inspect its contents to get a feel for how an IDS is structured.

An IDS is considered valid if it passes the XSD-based validation check. All sample IDS files available in the buildingSMART directory of public IDS templates are guaranteed to be valid.

There are many freely available online tools and programming libraries that can perform XSD validation.
However a valid IDS file requires more thatn bare XML schema compliance; buildingSMART provides an [IDS auditing tool](https://github.com/buildingSMART/IDS-Audit-tool/) to help ensure that the IDS files that you produce or receive are fully valid. The same tool is also available at [Xbim IDS auditing service](https://www.xbim.it/ids), which is executed locally in your web browser and does not upload your IDS files to any server.
