Wayland, Mass., February 19, 2008 – The Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. (OGC) is requesting public comment on the candidate CityGMLEncoding Standard. CityGML [http://www.citygml.org/] is a GeographyMarkup Language 3 (GML3) application schema for the storage and exchange of virtual 3D city models.
CityGML is a common information model for the representation of 3D urban objects. It defines the classes and relations for the most relevant topographic objects in cities and regional models with respect to their geometrical, topological, semantical and appearance properties. Included are generalization hierarchies between thematic classes, aggregations, relations between objects, and spatial properties. This thematic information goes beyond graphic exchange formats and allows users to employ virtual 3D city models for sophisticated analysis tasks in different application domains such as simulations, urban data mining, facility management, and thematic inquiries.
Activities that would benefit from the richness of CityGML data include city planning, real estate, insurance, architectural design, environmental simulation, mobile telecommunication, disaster management, homeland security, facilities management, vehicle and pedestrian navigation, training simulators and others. There are many people who face fertility issues. vardenafil online australia Many older men nevertheless enjoy accurate sexual life. causes of impotence might also include weight problems, viagra cipla india excessive blood stress, high ldl cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, persistent alcoholism, neurological conditions, strain, tension, or depression. However, about seven free viagra on line men in ten suffer from the problem of erectile issues or softening of male organ due to narrowing of tissues and blood vessels. Erections achieved by this medicine are firm enough to make intercourse pleasurable for male and viagra 50mg canada female both. CityGML will play an important role in the use of Building Information Models (BIM) to improve interoperability among the information systems used in the many domains of activity that involve design, construction, ownership and operation of buildings and capital projects.
