As the interest in indoor space increases, the demands for various services based on indoor space is increasing. With the demands, to construct spatial information for indoor space is also required, but there is not defined the LOD(Level of Detail) for indoor spatial data. Therefore, in this paper we classified data for indoor space data construction, and then we defined the accuracy and detail about the level of detail to provide suitable application services according to the type and representation method of each data. Most previous researches are focus on the geometrical representation, but in this paper we define a indoor LOD model based on type and representation method of data. In addition, we present applicable services with proposed LOD model and suggest a guideline for construction and application of indoor space.

As the need of indoor spatial information has grown, many applications have been developed. Nevertheless, the major representations of indoor spatial information are on the 2D or 3D, recently, the service based on omnidirectional image has increased. Current service based on omni-directional image is used just for viewer. To provide various applications which can serve the identifying the attribute of indoor space, query based services and so on, topological data which can define the spatial relationships between spaces is required. For developing diverse applications based on omni-directional image, this study proposes the method to generate IndoorGML data which is the international standard of indoor topological data model. The proposed method is consist of 3 step to generate IndoorGML data; 1) Analysis the core elements to adopt IndoorGML concept to image, 2) Propose the method to identify the element of 'Space' which is the core element of IndoorGML concept, 3) Define the connectivity of indoor spaces. The proposed method is implemented at the 6-floor of 21century-building of the University of Seoul to generate IndoorGML data and the demo service is implemented based on the generated data. This study has the significance to propose a method to generate the indoor topological data for the indoor spatial information services based on the IndoorGML.
