[Geopriv] Interior Location in the Presence Information Data Format - Location

Brian et. all. -

 

Just did a quick read of the document which triggered a question/thought.

 

Is anyone in this group away of a standards project titled Open Floor Plan? The initial work was the result of Carnegie Mellon Silicon Valley collaborating with the Golden Gate Safety Network to develop a format for displaying floor plans related building data for First Responders. In the last year, this activity has increased in collaboration scope to include the Open Geospatial Consortium, the buildingSMARTalliance, OASIS, the International Justice and Public Safety Network, and the Virginia EM. The idea is to define a relatively simple content model for indoor floor plans that can then be encoded in some grammar, such as GML. A key aspect of this work is the agreement that the vocabulary for indoor assets (such as a door/window etc) shall be based on the taxonomy and defined semantics as used in the international Building Information Model (BIM).

 

Would be nice if the indoor location work and be consistent with or based on the same model as what is developed for the OFP.

 

Let me know if there are any questions.
