Learning from Other Fields Architecture, Construction, & Facilities Disciplines Exchanging Information Across the Lifecycle and Disciplines How do we digitally represent whole systems across its lifecycle and the disciplines? From Light Tables to Building Information Modeling (BIM) Product Engineering Disciplines Across the Facility Lifespan From Paper Drawings to Computer Aided Technologies (CAx) System Development Disciplines Across the Product Lifecycle From Static System Diagrams to Digital Representations of whole systems Across the System Lifecycle NDIA Model Data Exchange WS 08/13/2018 | Page-5 Distribution Statement A – Approved for public release by DOPSR.

So What Does Portability Mean in This Context? Let’s get on with it: Pick one? Prioritize? • • Tool to tool interoperability? Data transfer? Data identification and access? Other types of data transactions? • Where do standards fit? • What is the part for tool vendors? Tool users? • What is the role of ontologies? Taxonomies? Definitions? • What are the bounds of applicability? • What activities are relevant to information sharing? • How do we accomplish notification? • Which ‘activity’, in ‘activity sharing’ initiates the transaction? • How is the transferred item secured? • How do you know? • Who’s responsibility it is? • What gets curated? Where? NDIA Model Data Exchange WS 08/13/2018 | Page-8 Distribution Statement A – Approved for public release by DOPSR. Distribution is unlimited. Let’s change the formula: Who drives the change? Other food for thought?
