Linked Building Data Teleco, 24th of August @ 12:00CET

Hi All,

It has been a long time since our last call and we have been generating 
a lot of content since then in the BIM*Q tool (formerly called ReqCap). 
We now have quite a collection of use cases and have also begun 
identifying some shared concepts across these. Some of this work has 
been documented in the attached deliverable. We are still eager to 
include other use cases and if people wish to share them, please contact 
us directly at SWIMing@scss.tcd.ie and we will begin this process.

We are now looking to organize another LBD call next Wednesday (24th of 
August) at 12:00CET.

We hope to discuss the upcoming TPAC event and whether it is worth 
pursuing the creation of a working group. We would like those of you who 
are interested, to join us in Lisbon, Portugal on the 19th of September.

We will be exploring what are the next steps that need to be taken to 
realize the working group. My suggestion would be to focus on the ifcOWL 
standard as a basis for the working group, as a lot of documentation has 
already been generated. This is dependent I think on the availability of 
the key players (Pieter, Jakob, Seppo, Nan, etc.).

For the TPAC event I think we need to address the following points -

  * Development of a charter
      o https://www.w3.org/2015/Process-20150901/#WGCharter
      o https://w3c.github.io/charter-drafts/charter-template.html
  * Engagement with the W3C community and build consensus (I think the
    LBD forms a nice basis for this)
      o https://www.w3.org/2002/05/rec-tips
  * Identify resources
      o What resources are available to commit to the development of the
        charter and a potential working group?

This is a rough agenda for the call and it is open to suggestions and 
modification.

Kind regards,

Kris.
