Requirements for model server enabled collaborating on building information models
The application of Building Information Modelling (BIM) has demonstrated enormous potential to deliver consistency in the construction collaboration process. BIM can define an explicit configuration for digitized information exchange, however the technology to collaborate on models has not yet delivered the industry requirements for BIM collaboration. This research project is intended to provide a fresh review of industry requirements for BIM collaboration and will analyse how these requirements can be supported using a model server as a collaboration platform. This paper presents a review of existing collaboration platforms, with a particular focus to evaluate the research and development efforts on model servers as a collaboration platform. This paper also reports on the findings of three focus group sessions with industry practitioners to identify any problems in the available collaboration systems. The focus group findings identify a number of issues in current collaboration environments which help to understand the main domains of user requirements for BIM collaboration. These requirement domains will be further analysed to identify functional and technical specifications for a model server enabled collaboration platform
Analytics-Driven Digital Platform for Regional Growth and Development: A Case Study from Norway
In this paper, we present the growth barometer (Vekstbarometer in Norwegian),
which is a digital platform that provides the development trends in the
regional context in a visual and user-friendly way. The platform is developed
to use open data from different sources that is presented mainly in five main
groups: goals, premises or prerequisites for growth, industries, growth, and
expectations. Furthermore, it also helps to improve decision-making and
transparency, as well as provide new knowledge for research and society. The
platform uses sensitive and non-sensitive open data. In contrast to other
similar digital platforms from Norway, where the data is presented as raw data
or with basic level of presentations, our platform is advantageous since it
provides a range of options for visualization that makes the statistics more
comprehensive.Comment: The Thirteenth International Conference on Digital Society and
