RE: [emergency-rim] Reminder: Meeting Today

["Leinenweber, Lewis" <Lewis.Leinenweber@sesolutions.com>]

Rex and all,
Sorry, I will not be able to attend the RIM meeting today. However, I
thought I would share some thoughts about work that relates to your
message below with respect to "... the evolving domain of the
built-environment, e.g. interior spaces, and the transition/interface
from Geospatial to Building-specific information."

You might find it interesting to know that OGC has been working on to
solve similar issues and to create standards to address the
built-environment through their CityGML standards work. This effort has
included collaboration with Architecture and Engineering community in
2005 and even earlier to integrate with the Building Information Model
(BIM) standards that carries very detail information about the
construction of buildings, down to the lowest level of details required
for design and construction. This collaboration has been demonstrated
whereby geographic information has been brought together with CAD model
data to produce a detailed 3-dimensional view that transitions from
geospatial 3-D (geographic locations and CityGML 3-D structures to
building interiors.

I can provide some additional information, resources and discussion to
follow-up later if there is interest.

Subject: [emergency-rim] Reminder: Meeting Today

Hi Everyone,

This is a reminder that we have a meeting scheduled today. Even though I

haven't had time to complete the next stage in the ValueList Ontology, 
we can continue our conversations on the merits of various kinds of 
ontologies, and I can relate how this effort reflects a number of other 
applications and capabilities being explored in NCOIC and locally in the

FEMA Grant work for Marin County Fire.Chiefs Association. The fact that 
is that our work needs to extend over a wider domain that includes as-is

data that conforms to no specific categorization or classification 
schemes.This is the same issue that affects the evolving domain of the 
built-environment, e.g. interior spaces, and the transition/interface 
from Geospatial to Building-specific information.

This is not a domain that any one group from the Contractors and 
Architects community to Real Estate Owner/Operators to Emergency 
Management is going to provide the end-all be-all standard. In fact, 
this is a direct challenge to our ValueList and Supporting Elements 
structure.

Cheers,
Rex
