Web Based Facilities Operation

Rapid movement towards Web Based Facilities Operation involves the creation of virtual identities that reflect the physical form and function of our large buildings and facilities. While these concepts are gaining acceptance as the new operational model it is uncharted territory. The rapid evolution of building operators to Super Operators casting their control over millions of square feet of real estate is becoming common place. 

Web Services Forum 

This forum was started in 2002 and has now evolved to several new identities, oBIX, XML Symposium, CABA and BuilConn.  The next page will explain and provide linkage to these new identities, we have left the original forum online as we feel it provides a historical accounting of how we evolved to these new identities.

This starting point and our linked resources opened the industry's minds to the importance of opening dialog on how an Industry Web Services Information Model should evolve.

The task of creating a Web Services Information Model or Models is important to us as an industry. If we do not take control of the data presentation of our dynamic information, the Information Technology or IT Industry will. It is important that our solutions seamlessly mesh with the IT industry, but it is even more important as an industry that we control the content and interaction of our information model or models.
