Proposal for conceptual model for city information modeling at a University

Abstract: The term City Information Modeling - CIM is a recent concept that encompasses, among other aspects, the integration between Building Information Modeling and Geographic Information Systems. CIM has been predominantly applied in cities; however, since the environment of a university campus possesses characteristics similar to a municipality, CIM can be a promising tool for managing these institutions. This paper proposes a data organization model for CIM, based on CityGML extensions. A methodology was proposed for the creation of extensions that can be applied to activities requiring spatial and building data. As an example, the activity of developing a technical project for fire and disaster prevention was used, in the environment of the Federal University of Paraná. To create the method, the available data and its format were studied, as well as its geometric and semantic correspondence with CityGML. The result was a conceptual model for the application domain extension (ADE) of CityGML for the development of firefighting projects, referred to in this work as ADE_FirePrev.
