OGC/GITA Emerging Technology Summit

OGC/GITA Emerging Technology Summit
Exploring the Future: Geospatial Web Services for Infrastructure and Buildings March 21-23, 2007 • Melrose Hotel • 2430 Pennsylvania Ave. NW • Washington, D.C. Presented by the Open Geospatial Consortium and the Geospatial Information & Technology Association
See presentations from this successful event now! Conference Overview Around the world, information about infrastructure and buildings are increasingly gaining the attention of organizations involved in architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) as well as the owners and operators of buildings and other structures. New collaborations are shaping information flows and business processes in the AEC industry, and the Geospatial software and AEC software industries are converging on solutions for urban information systems. Developments to create a U.S. National Building Information Model Standard (NBIMS) for information exchange of building information, technical innovations within the 3D community, and new homeland security and defense requirements are fueling a solid basis for these communities to come together. This Summit is intended to highlight long standing challenges that can begun to be resolved with collaborative solutions that advance all markets.
At this Summit you will be provided information from experts who are developing the U.S. National BIM Standard released for industry review on March 13 (see the following urls: main body of the document at http://nbims.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=742 and appendices and references at http://nbims.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=743). You will also be provided with in-depth information on the results of OGC’s OWS-4 test bed thread that dealt with CAD/GIS and BIM integration and the progress made in converging information and technology during 2006, and that are now under consideration by Consortium membership.
Who Should Attend ETS IV has been organized to provide CIO’s, technology managers in government and business leaders in the AECO and building industries an opportunity to better understand the breadth and benefits about what convergence offers today and what is on the horizon. The ability to discover, access, integrate and apply data from CAD, BIM and Geospatial Services using 3D technology and what they offer for improving decision-making for users across the entire building life cycle from conception to decommissioning. Convergence offers users a global to inside-the-building view point covering owners, architects, engineers, construction contractors, realtors, mortgage bankers, lawyers, appraisers, maintenance managers, planning and zoning officials, cost & quantity estimators, construction specifiers, fabricators, code officials, renovation & restoration designers, disposal & recycling services, safety & occupational health regulators, environmental permitters, energy and LEED certifiers, space & security consultants, network managers, and first responders.
