Did you know that there are no open standards initiatives currently focused on enabling CDE solution - CDE solution integration?

In the case that the symbols are replaced, BIM Execution Plans and other project documentation should be updated so end users are made aware.

BIM managers - When sharing documents between CDEs and a document is discovered with a name that contains restricted characters e.g " * : < > ? / \ |. What do you do? #DCDE #Distributed #CDE

Our users can choose to allow unsupported names to be changed by replacing symbols with "_" (underscore), or flag the file for manual remediation and prevent it from being transferred.

@rooevans I struggle to define my main interests - all things contingent to supporting teams improve the collaborative process during the delivery phase of a project is the closest summary I can come to. Thanks for your response though.

[John Egan @_johnegan]

I used to come to twitter to learn about the problems that the AEC industries face, now it’s filled with politics and memes about things I don’t care about or (want to) understand.

[John Egan @_johnegan]

@rooevans Another issue is that I don’t care about digital twins. The whole concept was boring before it started. This was stuff I had interest in whilst I was in uni when I was building IoT sensors/software to combine with my models. Sorry if this is a problem that you care about.

[John Egan @_johnegan]

@CitizenBIM Thanks. How do I do this? Lists?

[John Egan @_johnegan]

@henryfenbytaylo Please do, and delete my twitter account whilst you are at it!

[John Egan @_johnegan]

@tkunsman It’s just such a waste of time. I don’t watch Netflix series because my view is that you might as well just delete hours of your life, yet here I am being a complete hypocrite scrolling aimlessly feeding what appears to be a growing addiction.

@robjacksonIM Credit where credit is due. Since orgs like @buildingSMARTIn have failed to attract the interest of major vendors to the OpenCDE-API working group (dominated by Oracle and Friends) explicit partnerships seem like the only other way to collaborate. #worthATry

[John Egan @_johnegan]

@robjacksonIM @neilwirving Also, integration is damn difficult. Many vendors have had their fingers burned with trying.

[John Egan @_johnegan]

@robjacksonIM @neilwirving As a system integrator for the market leading CDEs, I would actually say that the interest we receive from UK companies is among the lowest (ahead of Europe).

[John Egan @_johnegan]

@robjacksonIM If you read the announcement closely it suggests that they will be providing developers with API access. No mention of the middleware required to perform the integration at all.

I wonder is the reason that the construction industry has such terrible productivity because it runs on MS?

[John Egan @_johnegan]

To this day, I am still blown away by how confusing Microsoft 365 is. #voodooUX #UXnightmare #help

@for59j54 For those of us that are not sure what the alternative reality might be, could you explain why having an NA isn’t mandatory, and hint at the alternative please?

[John Egan @_johnegan]

@for59j54 This is a contradiction. Flexible enough to be deviated from - ok. The question is, what would you propose to replace it with?

[John Egan @_johnegan]

@for59j54 Do you mean remove the flexibility of implementation, and replace it with a more consistent approach like Denmark has done?

[John Egan @_johnegan]

@for59j54 NA was introduced because each country had a different information management practices and couldn’t agree on one approach. What would you propose to replace it with?
