Linked Building Data Skype Teleco Friday 15th January 14:00 CET

Hi All,

The next Linked Building Data W3C *Skype call* will be *next week Friday 
15th of January*, starting at *14:00CET*.

On this call we would like to get feedback from within the LBD community 
regarding guidelines we have been developing for projects to identify 
and define data requirements and align those with existing standards. To 
this end, we have generated a deliverable which reports some of our 
initial findings working with several EU projects (attached) using the 
ReqCap tool.

We would like to put the following questions to the community:

 1. Is the presentation of the data in the report easy to understand, or
    could the report to be structured differently (with a mind to
    automatically generating similar reports using ReqCap)?
 2. Do you think having a central database for storing information about
    use cases, their data requirements and existing mappings for those
    use cases to standards is something you would find useful?
 3. Do you think this methodology is something that you would apply in
    future EU projects when defining data requirements?
 4. What additional features would you like to see supported by ReqCap,
    for example, automatic or semi-automatic alignments of data
    requirements as defined in the tool, with existing standards and
    ontologies?

Please let me know your availability for the call, and we hope to see 
you then.

Kind regards,

Kris.
