News from Haystack: BIM/Haystack Working Group

Dear all,

This piece of news might be of interest for our group:

Projet Haystack has initiate a working group for relationship with BIM/IFC
and Haystack (September 1st)

BIM/Haystack Working Group : http://project-haystack.org/forum/topic/530


Today, most of design and operational data semantic modeling requires a
manual, labor intensive process to "map" the data before value creation can
begin. Pragmatic use of naming conventions and taxonomies can make it more
cost effective to analyze, visualize, and derive value from our design and
operational data.

Bridging common BIM IFC classes with the Haystack convention is the focus
of the group to enhance Haystack capability to work with BIM data. This
working group would specifically address Project Haystack and the potential
to integrate Haystack data modeling with the BIM standard to streamline the
hand off of essential facility data from the design/retrofit/construction
phaseto the operational phase of a building's life.


I suggest we contact the participants of this group: Matthew Giannin
(chair),  Adam Rohloff , Monica Holbrook, some day to present our approach ?

Best,
Maxime
