Workshop announcement - European projects dealing with Linked Data and ontologies for BIM and Building Digital Twins @[LDAC - CIB W78]

Dear members of the W3C LBD Community Group,

Most of you know that within little more than one week, the joint *LDAC and
CIB W78 conference* week will start in Luxembourg (
https://www.cibw78-ldac-2021.lu/). On Thursday 14th of October at 11h-15h
CEST, Pierre Bourreau (Nobatek) and myself will moderate, with support of
the *Building Digital Twin Association* (BDTA) and the *European
Construction, built environment and energy efficient building Technology
Platform* (ECTP), the workshop titled "Linking EU H2020 projects on
digitization in the construction and maintenance industry: Linked Data and
ontologies for BIM and Building Digital Twins".

During the first part of the hybrid workshop, no less than five finalizing
H2020 projects will present their technical contributions in the domain,
i.e. BIMERR, BIM4REN, BIM-SPEED, BIM4EEB and SPHERE. For the second part of
the workshop, other (often more recently started) projects will join the
floor for a roundtable discussion, including BIMProve, BIM2TWIN, COGITO,
Encore (TBC) and ASHVIN (TBC).

From the online workshop description:

*In at least five finalizing European H2020 research projects focusing on
digitization in the building industry, Linked Data technologies are
actively applied to tackle well-known interoperability challenges in the
sector. Naturally, this resulted in the creation of a series of technical
deliverables (ontologies, data modelling patterns constraints, processes,
tools, etc.) with both similarities and differences between the different
ongoing projects. During the workshop, each of the five projects will share
their technical insights on the subject through short technical
presentations. The audience might expect to get a view on the reasons for
applying Linked Data, the progress made during the project and the lessons
learned. At the end of the presentations a roundtable discussion will be
held between the different projects to discuss how the Linked Data related
outcomes of the different projects can support each other and persist
through the BDTA after the independent projects have ended.*


If you're active in a recently started European project with tasks related
to Linked Data and Ontologies in the AEC industry and you're interested to
join the technical roundtable discussion, please reach out to Pierre and me
to gather more details. Despite the workshop being organized as a full
hybrid event, anyone interested in following the workshop should be
registered for the joint LDAC and CIB W78 conference as well.

Hope to see you in large numbers at LDAC - CIB W78!

Best regards,


Mathias Bonduel
Consultant
