Aggregating Geospatial Data - A BIM Consultant's Blight

03 Feb 2014 9:14 AM | Anonymous

The following was posted to the GANS LinkedIn page by Chris Foran, Managing Partner at Servant, Dunbrack, McKenzie & MacDonald...

"As someone who is keenly interested in advancing BIM technologies and deliverables in HRM and the Atlantic Provinces I'm continuously challenged with sourcing reliable geospatial data. In my quest for data I'm left feeling envious of our neighbors to the South who make SO much quality data readily available to end users.

I would be very interested to learn about any open data initiatives that exist today in NS and how our firm can collaborate with regulatory and government entities to help develop the state of BIM in the Atlantic Region."

Thoughts on this? Seems like a project that GANS could help champion! Could you also benefit from such an initiative in your firm?
