       Current M.O. for exchanging information
       By: MeganBeange Date: February 1, 2017, 2:19 pm

       What is your current method of operation for exchanging
       information?
       Could you foresee a workflow that would not require a
       "centralized" database or model?
       What do you know about the Linked-Data approach?

       We exchange information differently for different projects
       because the teams and the relationships vary.  Difficult to
       manage, complicated and time consuming at times.
       What is the Linked-Data approach?

       I guess the linked data approach may be something relating to
       API data exchange with tools such as
  HTML https://flux.io/
       right?

       Hi all.  I think I could summarize Claudia's comment by saying
       "information exchange is possible, but not easy", which is
       really a task for software developers to sort out.  Am I right?
       IMHO, what we need to help sort it out are "background"
       technologies, and promote the use of open standards to help that
       technology.  Things that users never see (in cell phones, that
       would be the network you're on, the protocol used by the phone
       to communiate with towers, etc).  The product (the phone in this
       case) should encompass all those standards to make it easier for
       us users.
       The buildingSMART IFC is one such technology, and "linked data"
       is another technology.  Linked data is not something you buy and
       turn on, but something that could be built into an application
       or data service designed to acquire and share information
       quickly and efficiently.
