(a situational impact perspective)



Situation Management Information Needs

Cleanly Cross Domains Connect correct information NOW! Information services Reasoning services Action services

Data Exchange Support Sharing policies Distribution assignment Creating Common Operating Picture Scope and view accounting



Having structured relationships amongst standardized information for a facility:

Defines facility information exchanges and resulting BIM data in way usable by specialized service providers

Organizes facility life-cycle information with associated data

Provides basis for longevity to the information and improves feasiblity of multiple checkpoints for data integrity

Why an ontology?



NBIMS Business Processes

Business Processes Interfaces to business processes at the core of NBIMS Standardizing commonly-recognized relationships Identify information needing to flow through the model Make information available to appropriate parties

Formalizing information flows will: Identify authoritative sources for information Ensure that correct data is collected Data need only be entered once into the model



National BIM Standard Definition of BIM – buildingSMART

Official Definition: A Building Information Model (BIM) is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility. As such it serves as a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life-cycle from inception onward.

Systems represent the physical entities of the building. Systems use NA classifications such as Omni-Class and Uniformat and are transported/exchanged via IFCsSpace is physical in nature, but can be unbounded (have no or cross physical boundaries) but it will always be tied to the physical structure or systems in some wayOverlays are more abstract data - organizational, operational, functional, financial, non-fixed assets, resources, personnel, etc. that is data tied to the Systems and Space

oBIX – Open Building Information eXchange

oBIX Architecture objectives provide means for reliable, extensible, safe interoperability.

Enables Building Management Systems to communicate with external services

Represents information in a standardized format Enables defining specialized contracts to invoke

operations based on security permission and situation awareness

Provides for changing permissions based on alarm states

Hazardous Materials Sensor Detection Triggered

Does your “building” care? Do it’s occupants? It depends. A service provider shares needed information.



Situation Maps

A variety of buildings and organizations are about to become involved in the situation.



Situation Maps

Alert received depends on the location of the building and (optionally) on the type of facility.

Knowledge Solutions needed

Cleanly Cross Domains Know where to get data – SOA-RR Domain Information Structure - Ontology Reasoning Systems Ontology based Services

Data Exchange Support EventTypes in Policy Management within SOA Incident Lifecycle - Ontology Ontology to Ontology – Semantic clustering Data slicing – Metadata for scope and view

Once the Framework is in place – the opportunity for beneficial services and sources are endless.

Let’s discuss what services you need or can provide and how we can trust those services through good perfomance measurement.

Moving Forward
