“…It is used to capture and represent the shape and graphical appearance of city models including object semantics, thematic properties, taxonomies and aggregations (Kolbe 2009). On BIM and GIS/CIM integration research, there have been some previous works on transforming CityGML to IFC and vice versa (Du and Zlatanova 2006;Hijazi et al 2009;Isikdag and Zlatanova 2009). A more recent work on the extension of CityGML, called GeoBIM, which incorporates IFC data into GIS and is implemented in open source BIMserver, was carried out by de Laat and van Berlo (2011).…”

Elements that constitute the built environment are vast and so are the independent systems developed to model its various aspects. Many of these systems have been developed under various assumptions and approaches to execute functions that are distinct, complementary or sometimes similar. Furthermore, these systems are ever increasing in number and often assume similar nomenclatures and acronyms, thereby exacerbating the challenges of understanding their peculiar functions, definitions and differences. The current societal demand to improve sustainability performance through collaboration as well as whole-system and through-life thinking is driving the need to integrate independent systems associated with different aspects and scales of the built environment to deliver smart solutions and services that improve the well-being of citizens. The contemporary object-oriented digitization of real-world elements appears to provide a leeway for amalgamating the modelling systems of various domains in the built environment which we termed as built environment information modelling (BeIM). These domains include architecture, engineering, construction as well as urban planning and design. Applications such as building information modelling, geographic information systems and 3D city modelling systems are now being integrated for city modelling purposes. The various works directed at integrating these systems are examined, revealing that current research efforts on integration fall into three categories: (1) data/file conversion systems, (2) semantic mapping systems and (3) the hybrid of both. The review outcome suggests that good knowledge of these domains and how their respective systems operate is vital to pursuing holistic systems integration in the built environment.

Abstract:There is a growing interest in the integration of BIM and GIS.However, most of the research is focused on importing BIM data in GIS applications and vice versa. Real integration of BIM and GIS is using the strong parts of the GIS technology in BIM, and of course the strong parts from BIM technology in GIS. In this paper a mix of strong parts from both worlds is integrated in a single project. The paper describes the development of a CityGML extension called GeoBIM to get semantic IFC data into a GIS context. The conversion of IFC to CityGML (including the GeoBIM extension) is implemented in the open source Building Information Modelserver.

“…Similarly, the map distance in 2D is inaccurate because it is significantly different from the real distance in 3D that is measured linearly along the pipe axis (Pubellier, 2003). Consequently, the information contained in 2D maps is often misinterpreted particularly when made available to third parties like unskilled labourers, or non-professionals (AbdulRahman et al, 2006).Such misinterpretations have led to severe accidents which consist of blind-cutting off of water, gas, heat supply and so on (Du, 2006). Other equally serious accidents such as the cut-off of communication lines and even the overflow of sewage had been caused by blind-cutting or fault damaging.…”

This century has continued to witness an ever increasing reliance on Geographical Information Systems (GIS) technology for the management of utilities' pipelines world over. Underground cables and pipelines are required to transport essential utilities such as oil, gas, water and electricity from one part of the city to another. Unlike on-surface pipelines, the fact that subsurface pipelines are hidden from the naked eyes makes them susceptible to neglect and damages without being easily noticed. Such damages and consequent pipe failures often have disastrous consequences on the environment and its inhabitants. A common source of subsurface pipeline damage is the accidental cutting of pipelines by excavation workers, oblivious of the precise underground location of such pipelines. This is largely due to the fact that pertinent decisions are usually taken using two dimensional (2D) maps as reference; however, information contained in 2D maps are often misinterpreted by both field workers and professionals alike. Three dimensional (3D) maps are increasingly becoming popular due to their ability to overcome the limitations inherent in (2D) maps. They also aid the proper conceptualization of subsurface pipelines thereby making it easier to work around these pipelines without endangering them. One major drawback though is the exorbitant cost of most of the GIS packages that support the 3D modelling and visualization of subsurface pipelines. Furthermore, the advanced languages used in building many of these packages make it difficult for non-GIS experts and professionals to relate with them. Since people from diverse disciplines (without strong GIS background) need to visualize and analyze these subsurface pipelines on a regular basis, it is pertinent to develop a system capable of performing basic 3D visualization functions, in addition to being user-friendly and highly affordable. This paper discusses such a technique, utilizing open-source software.
