Gradually and steadily, Governments, regulatory bodies, and clients recognize the need to embrace openBIM, to ensure seamless information exchange throughout the entire value chain. Cognizant of such need, this 2-day buildingSMART International – Asia Summit 2024 will explore ways in which openBIM and BIM X GIS can augment the efficiency of designing, constructing, and operating built assets, facilitating practitioners to meet regulatory objectives and sustainability goals.
Join us for a 2-day summit where a multitude of world-class leaders, overseas, mainland, and local experts, along with government officials from diverse economies, will gather to share their invaluable insights and experiences!
White Paper: Enabling information continuity across BIM-GIS domains: A bSI and OGC strategic roadmap
This strategic roadmap is a work product of a joint working group of buildingSMART International (bSI) and the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). It is the latest attempt in a decade-long effort by these organizations to bridge the gap between building information modeling (BIM) and geographic information systems (GIS) to leverage open data standards and foster continuity of information across any business domain (e.g., environment, transportation, infrastructure, buildings) where both BIM and GIS data are needed for informed decision-making.
The roadmap seeks to tap into the membership, activities, and reach of both organizations while at the same time aligning with other similar efforts within the larger industry to enhance infrastructure lifecycle management and support sustainable development.
Autodesk, Inc. has announced an interoperability agreement with the Nemetschek Group to improve open collaboration and efficiencies for the architecture, engineering, construction and operations (AECO) and media and entertainment (M&E) industries. The agreement will enhance existing interoperability between the two companies' industry cloud and desktop products and improve the fluent exchange of information across solutions.
This interoperability agreement demonstrates an ongoing commitment to integration and open industry standards, such as openBIM, which extends the benefits of Building Information Modeling (BIM) by improving the accessibility, usability, management and sustainability of digital data in the built asset industry.
"Supporting openBIM, interoperability, and open industry standards is deeply rooted in the Nemetschek Group's DNA," said Marc Nézet, Chief Strategy Officer of the Nemetschek Group. "Our interoperability agreement with Autodesk is a historic move to give customers the ability to work in any project environment and with any software ecosystem, ultimately resulting in a better built world."
