Modeling Approach Geoinformatic
Top-Down: Real world Surveying 3D Model
The aim is the correct representation of the real world
In general, only object surfaces are observable
Virtual 3D City Models: Modeling of semantic objects with spatial and non-spatial
properties (e.g.: CityGML)

Modeling Approach AEC / CAAD
Bottom-Up: Idea for a Building Design model/plan real world
Aim is the correct Representation of the planed world
Representation of construction elements, component based
Building Information Model (BIM): Modeling of semantic objects with spatial and non-
spatial properties (e.g.: IFC)

Scales
Model content, resolution, structure and accuracy depend on:
Thematic focus or application context
Spatial extent
Multi Scale Modeling in GIS
Different Levels of Detail (LOD) in order to handle the large scale range in GIS
LOD 0 Regional model

CityGML
Domain independent topographic data model and exchange format for 3D virtual
city and landscape models
Includes various thematic areas (buildings, vegetation, relief, water, traffic, land
use, etc.)
Representation of Geometry, Topology, Semantics and Appearance
International standard of the Open Geospatial Consortium
Primarily specified by the SIG 3D of the GDI NRW
Current version 2.0 was adopted in March 2012
Nationwide used by the state authorities
in Germany
Used in many cities world wide
Exchange format is based on XML
Industry Foundation Classes (IFC)
Comprehensive data model and exchange format for Building Information
Models (BIM)
ISO standard 16739 for semantic building models
Developed by the buildingSMART International
Representation of building models based on their geometry, topology and
semantics
Integration of different balances, i.e. material, costs, etc.
No representation of (graphical) appearance
Exchange formats:
Based on STEP
IfcXML is XML-based

Common Developments of OGC and bSI
Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and buildingSMART International (bSI) are
developing future concepts in consultation:
Participation of bSI in further developments of CityGML material
Collaboration of the OGC for defining further IFC coordinate operations
IfcCoordinateOperation for the georeferencing of BIM projects
Collaboration of the bSI Expert
Group IFC Rail / IFC Road with
OGC LandInfra Group for the
development of the Alignment
concept for modeling of
infrastructure projects
with BIM
