Pragmatics of the building industry, differences between BIPM and BIM
Medical & Public Health Information Sharing
From Steve Ray
- Geometry standards didn't begin with STEP as your spiral implies. Some in the room with doubtless raise that.
  - The slides are only to tell a story, beginning at STEP because of the influence on BIM, the beginning of geometry standards could go back as far as Pythagoras.
- As you progress through the spiral, you mix geometry standards with languages, organizations, and various other internet events. It's not clear how you picked the things you did.
  - For a system like the Open Floor Plan Displays and Data Exchange to work, a number of languages and organizations need to work together as a web service over the internet. There are certain to be items missing which should be corrected.
- I assume Michelle will cover this, but it's not clear by the end of your slides just what the project is that you are presenting. I recognize you mention the Open Floor Plan Display Project, but the last slide is the first time I saw it mentioned. I know you are working on the historical context, but you might want to go a little lighter on that for this meeting, and spend a little more on the project.
  - Will modify based on call today

Need for Ontologist Advisory Group
- Requires a couple of hours of commitment a few times through out the project
- Need Ontology Management focus more than an Ontology Engineer
- Deborah to add slide on Advisory Team Roles
- Roles: Domain Understanding, Standards Development, Standards Integration/Interoperability, Ontology
Building Information Modeling
Emergency Response
Energy Processes and Codes
Information Exchange
Ontology Engineering
Ontology Management
Policy, implementation, and adoption

Business Standards and Policy Funding
- How do you take knowledge from multiple sources and bring them together to make a sense of it in context of a problem to solve?
- Example: How do we redefine city and human life-styles?
- Data available - transportation statistics and plans, city design practices, population, ...
- Method used - BIMStorm example

Objective to get Ontologist Support
Be ready with materials/information on:
- Funding Opportunities within sight.
- Business Cases
- 'Roadmaps'
- 'Value Statements of achievement'
