Ouellette Assoc. AIA BIM &: AEC Industry Specialist at Nemetschek Vectorworks Inc.Open BIM: Better Collaboration Better Designs with BIM InteroperabilityTuesday March 25 2014 | Dallas Center for ArchitectureTime: 11 am - 12 pmBIM is all of the processes served by technology comprising the design procurememnt assembly and operation of a building. Various BIM applications address different domains and workflows. Each of these has unique and proprietary technologies not directly compatible with each other. Therefore there needs to be a way to exchange the desired data moving it from one system to another to perform high-value tasks. We are already immersed in daily data interoperability using our phones tablets laptops and other computers to access all kinds of data via the Internet bason on open standard technologies. Why can't the data generated by the building industry be just as accessible? This presentation will discuss how to achieve collaborative BIM workflows by using open standards-based interoperability technologies.
