OGC CityGML is an open standard for 3D city models intended to foster interoperability and support various applications. However, through our practical experience and discussions with practitioners, we have noticed several problems related to the implementation of the standard and the use of standardized data. Nevertheless, a systematic investigation of these issues has never been performed, and there is thus insufficient evidence that can be used for tackling the problems. The GeoBIM benchmark project is aimed at finding such evidence by involving external volunteers, reporting on tools behaviour about relevant aspects (geometry, semantics, georeferencing, functionalities), analysed and described in this paper. This study explicitly pointed out the critical points embedded in the format as an evidence base for future development. This paper is in tandem with Part I, describing the results of the benchmark related to IFC, counterpart of CityGML within building information modelling.
