Re: [emergency-rim] Reminder: Meeting Today

[Rex Brooks <rex.brooks@ncoic.org>]

Thanks Lew,

Personally, I have worked on this with several groups, specifically 
attempting to put together a standards effort to develop an Open Floor 
Plan Display/Exchange (OFPD/X) which has limped along till now, so I am 
aware of these resources. However, I think that if you could think about 
taking on this area with an eye toward compiling the most important or 
significant available material, I will certainly include it in the 
ValueList Ontologies I'm compiling. I will be buried in RM for some time 
to come, then I'll be takingon the FEMA Resource Typing material, so if 
you could take on this domain, particularly CityGML, it would be really 
great. I actually came into Human-based standards from the old VRML 
Consortium, now the X3D Consortium, so I'm familiar with cartesian 
coordinate 3D systems.

Thanks again,
Rex
