| Hi Deb,
Who is it that thinks that separate formalisms and tooling for semantic web description logic, procedurally sequenced process models, and aggregations of business rules provide an adequate conceptual framework for, let alone a practical methodological foundation for architecture/engineering/construction?
What does it take to support complex design-build processes that are goal-oriented, collaborative, dynamic, adaptive, self-optimizing -- and that deliver 5-10X improvements across the solution lifecycle -- development, operations, and ongoing evolution?

In addition to smart grid applications, some existing ontologies an enterprise framework architecture for Architecture/engineering/products may want to link up to include the following - but would appreciate some feedback. The point is to identify a reasonable and applicable set: CIDOC for cultural heritage COSMO for primatives Dublin Core Friend of a friend Gellish dictionary in addition to buildingSMART data dictionary Geopolitical ontology OBO for biomedicine activities in buildings (hospitals, laboratories, clinics including locations) SWEET for earth and environment UMBEL
As you know implementation so far with buildingSMART is in BPMN for processes. A reference architecture has been proposed in UML. I think we need to encode the standard hierarchy (from world to a bolt on a piece of equipment) in RDF plus OWL.
I have a couple sample problems but want to get "the idealized existing universe" in perspective first. For example, more precision is needed for location from lat/long to navigating a floor (aka storey) to a room, to a piece of equipment or sensor - then back out again to the block, neighborhood, state with corresponding application domains similar to places and spaces mapping science maps

I am very pleased to see this bubbling up this way. Several of us started a Building Services Performance ontolog group a few years back. My vision was that it would address exactly these issues, http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?BuildingServicePerformance That effort turned into a more mundane cataloguing of spaces, and I lost interest, and fell into three years of smart energy. It sounds from this thread, which that includes several of those original participants, that we are now ready to begin wrestling with this. This is good. tc

Subject: Re: [ontology-summit] [Applications] Launching the conversation about Large-scale Domain Applications Thanks
Sent from my iPhone I think a February conversation about how to produce a descriptive model of the problem system indicated by "connect energy, healthcare, emergency management, financial, and actually nature - the non man made aspects" would be useful. A result (caution, optimist) certainly would give the systemists, engineers and ontologists a grand challenge. Likewise, it will highlight the semantics aspects and benefits of the situation somewhat responding to Deb's question, How to fix? Such conversation will be more productive if we can get David Taylor (leading author of object technology) to participate. I will inquire. Jack On Jan 21, 2012, at 12:07 PM, Bob Smith wrote:
Jack asks: What % of your need is satisfied by the BIM working group? Deb believes about 30%...of need, and full scale smart cities (as the CETC-Sofi team is attempting to formalize) 5% Would a Feb. conversation be helpful to consider how to think about "Benchmarking" these terms?
