The document discusses collaboration between OGC, bSI, and ISO TC 59 to jointly develop geospatial and BIM standards. It focuses initially on infrastructure design where civil engineering uses both geospatial and BIM concepts. It proposes a joint conceptual model between bSI and OGC to develop standards that are more easily integrated and avoid information loss when moving between models. The collaboration is important for solving business problems by reducing time spent converting data between standards.

Initial focus on Infrastructure Design
• Civil Engineering
– Uses both Geospatial and BIM concepts
• Earth related, coordinate system, feature based
• Model based
– Road design

Initial focus on Infrastructure Design
• Joint conceptual model:
– bSI Infrastructure room
– Land and Infrastructure Domain Working Group
– be synchronized with the concurrent efforts by
buildingSMART in IFC
– Learn lessons from LandXML
– be more easily integrated with CityGML and TransXML
– based on a UML conceptual model developed prior to
the GML (and IFC) encoding
– Under the leadership of Paul Scorponcini

Towards Semantic Interoperability
• We are still in the storming phase
–Lots of models, ontologies, dictionaries, …
are being developed by projects, organisations,
companies, …
• Information loss when moving from one to the
other

Concluding
• Collaboration OGC, bSI and ISO TC 59
– This is big news!
• Joint conceptual model, encoding in GML and IFC
• User need to focus on solving business problems
– Not spending time converting / recreating data
• Standards are created by people like yourself
– Participate in the process
