Workshop brings technologists together

• Building on interest in BIM to expand communications to the industry and attract support for projects and implementations of standards
• Leveraging and optimizing work by buildingSMART chapters and standards development in North America and Europe
• Expanding the knowledge base on the core buildingSMART technologies and their application
• Using the benefits of model based information to support the need for improved sustainability of the built environment.

"The workshop was one of the most impressive in recent memory," according to workshop participant David Hammond, senior program manager with the U.S. Coast Guard. "It provided me with a new understanding of the interrelationships between IFC, IFD, IDM and MVD and their importance to interoperability in a geospatial context within the AECOO industry. Having close and continuing discussions with professionals from five countries was invaluable."
