BIM, Digital Twin & Data Management
Mikitaka Hayashi
DAMA Regional Coordinator, Japan
BS/PAS1192 defines Building Information Modeling (BIM) to assess how well the data is structured and how extensively technology is used. It defines the evolution of the tangible asset information expression starting from paper/document-based models to data/information-based models. Digital Twin, on the other hand, is the exact reflection of reality. Each piece of the data represents an aspect of reality and vice versa. The poor data quality in Digital Twin would result in an inaccurate representation of true reality. BIM can be enhanced by adding alternate reality data (scenario data) expressing a multiverse, so-called "paradelle world." These enhancements of BIM or Digital Twin require careful planning and strong data management. This presentation will describe the steps to enhance BIM and Digital Twin, including data architecture, data integration, and data quality management. The presentation will include case studies of companies in Japan and the Asian region. Session 19E, 4:35pm - 5:35pm, July 22, 2021.
Upgrade Your Professional Credential with a
Graduate Degree in Information Quality
The University of Arkansas at Little Rock currently offers an online Graduate Certificate. Dr. John Talburt is working with the Graduate School to qualify the CDO-1 Certificate Program as part of the University's "Prior Learning Credit" (PLC) Program. Under the proposed PLC Program, students could count the completion of the CDO-1 Certificate together with other professional experiences as a graduate course credit toward the Graduate Certificate. Students earning the PLC credit for CDO-1 would only need 3 online courses to earn the Graduate Certificate. Click here for details to upgrade your professional credential. Congratulations to Dr. Talburt for winning the “We HEART Our Faculty Award” and the “I HEART Graduate Faculty Award!” These awards are given by Student Government Association and the Graduate Student Association to recognize faculty members for outstanding student mentoring and advising.
