In 6 Tips on Asset Lifecycle Information Management we talked about the intersection between information management and physical assets. This question of the linkages between physical and virtual worlds is ultimately at the heart of the internet of things.
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is another example. Per the UK’s National Business Specification (NBS), owned by the Royal Institute of British Architects:
BIM describes the means by which everyone can understand a building through the use of a digital model which draws on a range of data assembled collaboratively, before during and after construction. Creating a digital Building Information Model enables those who interact with the building to optimize their actions, resulting in a greater whole life value for the asset.
