RSWB PLUS contains, in addition to the German construction database RSWB, also documents from the international construction database ICONDA. RSWB provides bibliographic references to German publications from the areas of regional planning, town planning, housing and construction. ICONDA is produced in international cooperation and contains contributions from various countries for the areas of construction, civil engineering, architecture and town planning. The references cover journals, books, conference papers, reports, dissertations, laws and regulations and standards. Both RSWB- and ICONDA-documents include controlled index terms in English. Abstracts and title translations are German in RSWB and English in ICONDA. To improve the search results, the search should be bilingual (German and English).
