This workshop will present recent revisions to the Building Interior Space Data Model template, or BISDM version 2. With input from facility and building management users, software vendors, and integrators, the original BISDM was released in August 2008. The BISDM template has been successfully adapted and used in real-world projects to meet a variety of enterprise integration and business application requirements in the past year. Using valuable feedback from project experiences, the BISDM technical team conducted a series of revision meetings in fall 2009. The result is BISDM version 2. Main updates to be discussed include expanded support for core building object attributes, an asset model extension that provides additional feature objects based on industry foundation classes (IFC) developed for building information model (BIM) standards, building feature support for photos and raster data, and support for transportation networks. New BISDM supporting materials, such as an expanded data dictionary, data loading tools and sample project data, map documents, and viewers, will also be presented.
