Conference Call Notes

Breaking news

  • UICDS (Unified Incident Command and Decision Support) - April 29th demonstration is culmination of previously planned coordinated work. The demonstration will include a live Emergency Operating Center housing multiple-groups running against a simulation / scenario.
    • Let's align with use cases and standards defined within the UICDS effort.
    • We'd like to be included in future demonstration.
    • Contact: Chip Mahoney - Program Manager for UICDS.
    • To get software development kit, we need to fill out the survey-template.
      • QUESTION: What name should be put in the Company field? IRSC?, BSP?, Golden Gate Safety Network? ...
      • NOTE: email from DeborahMacPherson received during this meeting stated she could not fill out survey at this time.
      • SUGGESTION: Each individual wanting to connect into UICDS could send in a survey response. The overlap of answers to questions such as "Q: What standards do you use for data formats or data exchanges?" could be an added benefit.
  • Peter Orzag (NEED: check spelling and add title) has stated that Government Agencies must pay-up for past postings before they can submit new postings to Grants.gov.
    • He has a role of FEA integrator and is involved in the administration of Grants.gov.
    • Exactly what this means and it's impact on Grant availability or timing is unknown.

Project coordination

  • OpenFloorPlanDisplay first of a series of projects out-of IRSC and BSP.
  • Need to know how useful the Omni-class classifications will be in real-world use for floor plan display
    • Floor plan for Harney demonstration needs room classification - how smart does the classification need to be? how do we use Omni-class etc...

Contacts

  • Brand Niemann - Federal Enterprise Architecture FEA and SOA based eGov
  • Ontologists and Ontology Engineers: Josh(?), Mathew(?), Leo(?), others from OntologySummit2009 connection
  • others coming out of OntologySummit2009 follow-up communications

Pursuit of funding

  • General discussion
    • For a project to get funding there needs to be an anchor-point organization
    • Need alignment with an inside player to obtain funding
    • Ideally partner with company who is already doing First Responder Information Display work (Examples: Honeywell, Inc. and Net Talon)
  • Federal funding
    • Companies need to be registered with the Central Contractor Registry under Grants.gov
  • Local level funding
    • Take it to the local levels and understand there needs (what do they need to do their job better, faster?)
    • Show best practices in sample implementations that could be readily transferred into real use
  • Industry consortium funding
    • Not deemed likely unless through existing consortium with money set-up for demonstration, particularly since membership is often a requirement for funding eligibility
    • Given the economy, not much is being given out from Industry for out-side groups to show proof-of-concepts.
  • Recommendation
    • Focus pursuits at local level
    • Market based on specific needs and how project work can address those needs

Demonstrations

  • Harney Building floor plan
  • St. Mary's Hospital - safety
  • Real-time data display of building information
  • BIM Storm for San Diego
    • kickoff was last Friday
    • 4-6 workshops to follow
    • wrap-up - June 10,11,12

Next steps
