KEY TOPICS DISCUSSED IN
THIS PRESENTATION
INTEROPERABILITY
REFERS TO THE
ABILITY OF
DIFFERENT SYSTEMS
OR COMPONENTS TO
EXCHANGE AND MAKE
USE OF INFORMATION
SEAMLESSLY.
WHERE DID THE CONCEPT OF
INTEROPERABILITY
ORIGINATE?
Interoperability enables these disparate data sources to be integrated efficiently, facilitating comprehensive
analysis and interpretation of data as well as ideas.
Interoperability fosters seamless collaboration by allowing different individuals and teams to work on
interconnected systems, share data, and exchange insights effortlessly.
This preservation of historical context enhances the authenticity and reliability of the modeling outcomes.
THE IMPORTANCE OF
INTEROPERABILITY IN
HISTORICAL MODELING SYSTEM
Interoperable modeling systems are designed with standards and protocols that promote accessibility and
longevity.
Designers can adapt existing models, incorporate new data sources, and refine analytical techniques without
significant reengineering.
WHY PROFESSIONALS SLOW TO
EMBRACE THE CONCEPT OF
INTEROPERABILITY
TECHNICAL COMPLEXITY
This complexity can be initmidating for professionals who may not have the technical expertise to navigate and
implement these systems effectively
Implementing interoperability systems typically requires investment in new software, training for staff, and
potentially restructuring workflows
RESISTANCE TO CHANGE
Introducing interoperability systems requires them to adapt to new tools, processes, and standards, which can
meet resistance due to concerns about productivity disruptions, learning curves, and perceived risks
associated with change.
DEFINITION AND
CONCEPTS OF
BUILDING
INFORMATION
MOELING (BIM)
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a digital
representation of a building's physical and
functional characteristics.
It encompasses geometry, spatial relationships,
quantities, properties, and other relevant data
of building components.
BIM facilitates collaborative processes among
stakeholders throughout the building's lifecycle.
It supports better decision-making by providing
accurate and reliable information.
BIM allows for simulation, analysis, and
optimization of design options to enhance
building performance.
