I am interested. Alignment with UML at a conceptual level is probably a great
goal given it allows the structure to also be expressed in UML. If UML is not
robust enough, custom stereotypes can easily be built into a UML profile.
Alignment at a syntax level is probably much more difficult but might be also a
possibility.

RE: IEEE standards project P1175.4 is currently working on a
developing a standardized set of concepts for linking assembly and part
structures to system behaviors. If you might have an interest in
working to refine those concepts into practical ontologies / data
structures for describing all these kinds of interrelationships, the
goal of upcoming project P1175.5, please let me know. (03)
I have an interest in working to refine the concepts into practical data
structures for building systems and components. Currently, parts like an HVAC
unit within a system can be classified and described fairly consistently.
Efforts are underway to develop standardized property sets especially for
federal building projects, see attached. (04)
The current shortcoming is assemblies. For example Underwriters Laboratory
tested, approved design for through-penetration firestop systems is XHEZ. If
the contractor varies from this assembly in any fashion, the whole thing needs
to be retested. But Building Information Models still seem only able to
describe the parts - gypsum board of this thickness in these layers, certain
studs sizes etc - we need a way to describe assemblies better. And capture how
to dynamic structured queries on the fly over the internet. There is currently
nothing to capture this with. (05)
RE: Is this granular enough? Is the parts lifecycle linked explicitly to the
assembly or does it exist on it's own (UML aggregation vs composition).
Also needed - now the design information needs to adapt and service the entire
building lifecycle, most parts will be replaced sooner or later. Only the WHOLE
building will remain. (06)
