Currently, 90% of worldwide data is unstructured.
Web 2.0 content, imaging, energy data, model data, etc, etc is structured data.

New construction communications….
A Web 2.0 revolution!

Changing PR
• Online media– Digital news release– Opinion piece written in blog– Photos, video, slides incorporated• RSS, tweeted, shared (LI, FB), etc
• e-newsletters
• We are all publishers now!
10
Changing meetings/events
• Hybrid = online & face-2-face– Real-time sharing/feedback– Multiple locations– Presence no longer required– #hashtags
• We are all broadcasters now!
11
Changing AEC IT = new opportunities?
12
Project manager diary as a blog?
Multi-media:
- photos
- video
- timeline
13
Flickr.com• Cloud-based
photo-sharing• Searchable• Description• Tagging• Geo-location

16
Clippings.com• A “Pinterest for AEC”• Crowd-sourcing
design ideas• Marketing platform• expect Pinterest-
style mobile apps soon
Pinterest for building products?
17
Woobius Showcase
• Application to create iPhone/iPad apps for construction businesses
• “portfolio in your pocket”
• Innovation = differentiation
Catalogue or portfolio in your pocket?
18
OpenBuildings.com• Crowd-sourced wiki

24
Collaboration updates via Twitter DM?
Why not?
If not via Twitter...
… maybe via internal networks, eg:
25
From Web 2.0 to Web 3.0
Web 1.0 = sites, pages, links(static, proprietary, non-interactive)
Web 2.0 = people, participation(dynamic, interactive, connecting)
Web 3.0 = machines(semantic, linked data, context)
26
Semantic web
"a web of data that can be processed directly and indirectly by machines”(Tim Berners-Lee)
“… provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries”
27
We have lots of data...
… but in lots of different formats and models
… and many data sources are not linked
So: need a common data model
RDF (Resource Description Framework)
Contextualisation
28
RDF (Resource Description Framework)
Triple data model
Contextualisation

Linked data
RDF data that links to other RDF data on the web is Linked data (Linked Open Data)
33
Linked data
“... if the past was document sharing, the future is data sharing” (Tim Berners-Lee)
1. A URL should point to the data.
2. Anyone accessing URL should get data back.
3. Relationships in the data should point to additional URLs with data.
34
What does this mean in construction?
1. Linked data connects and provides context to social interactions and to data about physical world we live in.
2. Building Information Modelling (BIM) will increasingly apply Linked Data principles throughout the BIM lifecycle. Finding and linking relevant, related information will become increasingly important.

OPEN BIM
launched March 2012 collaborative design, realisation and operation of
buildings based on open standards and workflows founding partners
buildingSMART International (bSI) vendors (eg: Tekla, Nemetschek, Graphisoft); backed in UK by Constructing Excellence
using the open buildingSMART Data Model, IFCs
Poor interoperability cost US AEC industry $15.8bn per annum (NIST, 2004) – mainly borne by owners!

BIM libraries
(some offering IFC objects)
40
Real-time building services (or other) data?
“Internet of Things”
Real-time feedback on
building performance
