LDAC 2015 — Linked Data in Architecture and Construction Workshop — 15-17 July — Eindhoven, The Netherlands

The Linked Data in Architecture and Construction (LDAC) workshop series aims at bringing researchers, industry stakeholders, standardization bodies and other interested members of this growing community together. The workshop allows to present current developments, coordinate efforts, gather stakeholders use cases and plan future activities. The topic of the 2015 event is “The use the Web of Data technologies for building information management in diverse practical use cases”.

The 2015 edition will take place on 15-17 July 2015. The event will be held back-to-back with the eg-ice workshop (13-15 July) on the campus of the TU Eindhoven in the Netherlands. The event will follow, to a large extent, the program outline and set up that was used in the 2014 LDAC workshop. Namely, in addition to a high number of plenary sessions, two parallel tracks will take place: one track focuses on industrial use cases and vocabularies for the Web of Building Data, and the other focuses on technical advances and prospects. In addition, a number of hands-on sessions will be hosted as well.
