Introduction
Geospatial – Civil – BIM coming together
Interoperability challenges / gaps
CAD – GIS
Indoor - Outdoor
Are the stars aligning?
Files – Database – WebService
Tightly coupled vs loosly coupled

BuildingSMART
Moving from human readable formats to machine readable formats
30% productive, 70% unproductive (moving stuff)
Building industry now implementing IT (on site)
BIM
Technology / mind set
Solved on site
Try to do more before, than during (costs increase)
Currently delivered as bulk on site, shift towards prebuilt
No vendor lock in
Information exchange not service oriented (sneaker net)
BuildingSMART
14 chapter – each chapter independent
OpenINFRA
MoU
ISO/TC 211, SC 13, buildingSMART International, OGC

Geonovum - Government
including comments from Chris Body (Office of spatial policy)
Risk averse – need confidence when choosing technology
Reuse of Gov issued geo information is lacking
Overlap Geo and Civil workflows, and Civil and BIM workflows
Using the same concepts – different syntax
Loss of information during workflow when switching technology
Confusion on the use of LandXML
OGC or BuildingSMART
Concept Library
IFC Data Dictionary (Geonovum bought license)
Confusion around OpenINFRA
No mention of OGC
A lot of standard initiatives
LandXML, CityGML, IFC, IFD, ….
Need guidance

6. Oranjewoud - Engineering
Engineering company – employees, 10B turnover
Also represents contractors and DEME
Use / Need interoperability in projects with City of Rotterdam, ProRail
Little BIM is a fact
Big BIM is wanted – future
LandXML suitable for surfaces, alignment and profiles
Not so much for 3D model (solids)
3D Model of a road
Need more in LandXML (cross section / multiple layers)

Esri - vendor
Link indoor – outdoor
Take Revit, overlay on GIS
Which standards to implement
Important decision – engineering resources are spares
Support for information exchange via Interoperability Extensions
Native schema – and multiple foreign schemas
Customers asking for insides of a building
CityEngine
3D City Content
Bring CAD and BIM into GIS
Initiative:
GeoDesign summit (

ViaNova - Vendor
New TC Member
In Norway BIM approach mandatory
Little BIM has crossed the chasm
No complete models that cover entire workflow at this stage
Pragmatic approach based on standards
Using TC211, IFC and OGC standards
Can’t share a full design (Big BIM)
Can’t round trip – information loss when changing technology
Parametric designs are hard to exchange
Share static content
Mapping parametric objects between implementations

Autodesk - Vendor
BIM, next big thing after analog / digital drawing
UK mandates BIM in 2016
You must BIM
COBie
Planning and conceptual design using Infrastructure Modeller
Sharing of information between various ‘roles’
Designer to planner and user
Move to solids for design
From an ‘engineering’-view to a ‘Real World Object’-view

Conclusions
Cyclomedia
Panoramic imagery
Draping on 3D Models
Used in civil workflows
i-Scope
3 CityGML Application Domain Extensions
Mobility of aging population
Incl practices for wheelchairs and blind
Energy consumption
Noise mapping
BIM – Geospatial integration
CityGML not CEN or ISO standards
Need to maintain a registry of growing ADE’s

Conclusions
ISO/TC 211, SC 13, buildingSMART International, OGC
MoU
Establish ad hoc group
Make Short term and Long term Roadmap
Drive government policy
Drive product management …
Part of OWS-10?
BIM track
Roadmap for “product library”
Make sure we have made significant progress in September
Next BuildingSMART – OGC meeting
Registry for ADE’s
Martin Ford will send Carsten with request
