New presentation Template for Energy ADE!!!
For the presentations in the name of the Energy ADE and for our Workshops, here is the new template: Presentation Template
Dissemination of last semester
EnergyADE development has been introduced at the Munich School of Engineering (2015) as an abstract paper. A presentation was given by Mostafa Elfouly demonstrating the different working groups and the activities in each.
Romain Nouvel presented the EnergyADE and its development at the WorldGeoForum (2015)
All this dissemination information must be updated on the public wiki. The private part of the wiki is not useful anymore (all development process is centralized on the GitHub) and can be deleted.
Olivier presented how to use the issue. Basically, there are some "developers" (TC comittee + WG leaders) and "users" rights (all others). Everybody can create and comment issues, and write in the guidelines. Developers may set the labels and Milestones.
Process of Issue / request of Change
The process of Issue / request of Change is fully centralised on the GitHub platform. The following process has been discussed and agreed:
Open the Issue and labelling it with the concerned WG(s)
Discussed internally in WG until the agreement
Once agreed internally, recap in a final comment: the motivations + the detailed request of changes (integrated definitions, types etc.)
Check by requested people (TC or WG). If not ok: start agiain from 2. If ok: label the issue accordingly ("Validated by the WG" and "Validated by the TC"), and set the corresponding Milestone
Once integrated in the UML Scheme and agreed with the WG, close the issue
Guidelines
Esteban Munoz presented how everybody can edit Guidelines on the Github: file Guidelines_Energy.md
GitHub open or private?
Calling for making the Github platform totally accessible to non-registered.
Pros:
Get new fresh out of the box ideas
Outreach and spread the word
Cons:
It will consume sometime to filter the ideas and make sure that it can really have a positive impact in the EnergyADE development
A vote has been held with 20 Yes's and 1 No.
It has been decided to make the Wiki fully public, with a clear link to the Github platform which remain for the moment private.
Interested users is to contact Olivier Tournaire (or one of the development committee) to get an access for the Github.
ACTION (Olivier Tournaire): Check if we can open the WGs without the development branch on the GitHub
ACTION (development committee): Olivier Tournaire (or someone from the development committee) may provide a tutorial for using the Github
ACTION (WGs): Contribute to the Guidelines on the GitHub
Jean-Marie & Piergiorgio discussed the organisation of the WG, activites, request of changes for the EnergyADE v0.6, and what they have tackled within the last 6 months.
Piergiorgio demonstrated the usage of INSPIRE codelists.
Raised Issues:
What should be CodeList / Enumeration in the Energy ADE Schema? -> Enumeration are fixed (End-Use Types, Ownership Types), while CodeList may be extended (Refurbishment class).
Should we use stick to CityGML codelist or INSPIRE codelist? -> How to control the possible changes in the INSPIRE Registery?
K-H Häfele suggest to look the inspiring ObXML for occupant modeling
ACTION (KIT): Send link schema for OBXML to Occupancy WG
ISSUE(Occupancy): Improve the documentation and guidelines
ISSUE(Occupancy): Decide what is CodeList, what is Enumeration. Investigate further the use of the INSPIRE registery
Presentation of OGC Standard Working Group (SWG CityGML leader is Carsten Roensdorf) and Pilot projects (New pilot FutureCities) * Once the Energy ADE will reach a stable phase (successfully tested, very few revisions still needed), it is possible to provide a Best Practice Paper to OGC (inspired from our Guidelines).
WG ADE Core and WG Construction have been merged in a unique WG Building Physics, since they were closely interrelated by the XML Schema and participants
Energy Certification
Keep one attribute for energy certification instead of combining attributes (Joachim)
DateOfCertification is to be added as an attribute (Joachim & Maryam)
LabelOfEnergyPerformance attribute is to be added (Volker Coors)
Protected buildings and Cultural heritage
Protected Buildings/Zones: Used in energy refurbishment planning, but rather concerns CityGML 3.0 than specifically the Energy ADE. It was decided to not extra change it and keep links feasible with other initiatives.
Date of Refurbishment
->if it's date it will need a day, month and year of refurbishment which is difficult to get.
So it's better to change it to PeriodOfRefurbishment? (Joachim, FIXME!)
Scale
Scale needs to be clarified if it's between 0-1 or 0-100.
Otherwise, further discussions on CodesList/Enumeration and Measurement units.
TOP 12: Roadmap toward Energy v1.0
Before Energy ADE 1.0
More test cases and examples must be provided, from all the WGs
Guidelines or "Best practice paper" should clearly described the Energy ADE for external users
TimeSeries
Investigate TimeSeries XML and how to integrate it into CityGML. 2 possibilities:
Extern through a reference in the schema
Extern through a reference to an external file
Intern through time series objects
Difficulties to combine relative & absolute time values
UOM attribute should be added
ACTION (Romain & Mostafa): Romain Nouvel, Mostafa Elfouly & Kanishk Chaturvedi from TUM will check the Schedules and TimeSeries and its conformity to the development of the dynamics part of CityGML 3.0 in order to avoid any overlap (some features seem to be very similar)
ACTION (KIT): Provide construction modelling examples
ACTION (EPFL): Provide time series and system modelling examples
ACTION(Occupancy, JMB, EM): Provide occupancy profile example
TOP 13: Planning of Next steps
OGC TC Meeting in Sydney
-> Energy ADE development work was presented by Prof. Volker Coors on the 02.12.2015 at the OGC TC Meeting in Sydney via online conf.
Further process proposed for the ADE development into the OGC
Maintain good visibility by regular attendance at the OGC TC Meetings (in the 3DIM or Energy DWG)
Develop clear guidelines for the new version Energy ADE 0.6, integrating concept presentation, main definitions, illustration/visualisation and XML examples.
Once a version 1.0 we will reached, send a Best Practice paper to OGC
Be synchronised with the CityGML 3.0 developments (and in particular Metadata WG and Dynamics WG)
Mailing List
Provide different mailing lists: Global & WG-specific ones
ACTION (E. Casper]): Provide list of possible solutions
