Suggested Agenda

 * Ontology and tools for integration of building, emergency management, and energy management standards for cross-domain information exchange and representation.
 * EDXL-RIM and ValueListURN
 * Pragmatics of the building industry, differences between BIPM and BIM
 * Medical & Public Health Information Sharing
 * From Steve Ray
 * Geometry standards didnt begin with STEP as your spiral implies. Some in the room with doubtless raise that.
 * The slides are only to tell a story, beginning at STEP because of the influence on BIM, the beginning of geometry standards could go back as far as Pythagoras.
 * As you progress through the spiral, you mix geometry standards with languages, organizations, and various other internet events. Its not clear how you picked the things you did.
 * For a system like the Open Floor Plan Displays and Data Exchange to work, a number of languages and organizations need to work together as a web service over the internet. There are certain to be items missing which should be corrected.
 * I assume Michelle will cover this, but its not clear by the end of your slides just what the project is that you are presenting. I recognize you mention the Open Floor Plan Display Project, but the last slide is the first time I saw it mentioned. I know you are working on the historical context, but you might want to go a little lighter on that for this meeting, and spend a little more on the project.
 * Will modify based on call today

Conference Call Notes

 * Need for Ontologist Advisory Group
 * Requires a couple of hours of commitment a few times through out the project
 * Need Ontology Management focus more than an Ontology Engineer
 * Deborah to add slide on Advisory Team Roles
 * Roles: Domain Understanding, Standards Development, Standards Integration/Interoperability, Ontology
 * Building Information Modeling
 * Emergency Response
 * Energy Processes and Codes
 * Information Exchange
 * Ontology Engineering
 * Ontology Management
 * Policy, implementation, and adoption


 * Business Standards and Policy Funding
 * How do you take knowledge from multiple sources and bring them together to make a sense of it in context of a problem to solve?
 * Example: How do we redefine city and human life-styles?
 * Data available - transportation statistics and plans, city design practices, population, ...
 * Method used - BIMStorm example


 * Roadmaps and Framework Coordination
 * Building Standards typically
 * Industry and Public Infrastructure Collaboration
 * Policy bodies
 * Need: Get our Framework coordinated with the
 * Example - Environmental 2030

Additional Prep

 * Objective to get Ontologist Support
 * Be ready with materials/information on:
 * Funding Opportunities within sight.
 * Business Cases
 * 'Roadmaps'
 * 'Value Statements of achievement'


 * Deborah and Michelle to practice presentation tomorrow at 12 noon Eastern time.
 * Slides to Steve
