Introduction LCDM is: General concept of data sharing and system collaboration all through the construction lifecycle, not only execution process, but also maintenance process of completed objects. *LCDM: Life Cycle Data Management Goals are: To develop specification of data standards and information infrastructure, on which standardized data are registered, updated, and made effective use of, in order to promote data standards and make information investment efficient.

All rights reserved 3 Today’s Information System has been developed to realize the Efficient Individual Business Processing. ・ Up to this day, separated system has been equipped which realize efficient individual business processing. ・ As the result, efficient total business processing (total optimization) has not been realized by data circulation. ・ The cause is that definition, semantics of data and acquisition method of data have not been shared. current information system What has been realized Efficient Business Processing (Partial Optimization) Individual information systems for each business has been build and individual data has been equipped. (CALS/EC, e-Government, GIS, etc.) Data linking and system integration have been done in the closed business processing system. What has not been realized Efficient Total Business Processing (Total Optimization) Smoothness of digital data exchanging which equipped on each information system. (Double data registration or re-input of printed out data between each system are realistic.) Deployment of data reuse and data recycle - compilation and processing. (Those are restricted in the specific systems.) The causes are Definition, semantics of data and acquisition method of data are not shared There is not enough standardization of data definition. There is not enough publication of data definition and data structure. What kind of data there are is not known. Locations of data are not know, if there are any. Acquisition methods of data are not standardized. If that should been left as it are, … There might be too many data standards running. Data linking between all fields of business processing could not be realized. The ROI might be rather limited by the equipment of information system. 2. Current Issues of Information Sharing(1/2)

5. Copyright © LCDM Forum 2006. All rights reserved 4 2. Current Issues of Information Sharing(2/2) ROI of Information System is limited on the condition of insufficient standardization. ・ In case of disaster, when a citizen wants to gather information of the neighborhood, he never gets the whole picture unless he makes access to data providers separately. Data Circulation Infrastructure Road Information Disaster Information River Information Weather Information Traffic Information It is my home town. How it is ? Road Information Disaster Information River Information Weather Information Traffic Information citizen Standard Needs of Data Circulation Infrastructure Address? Place? Point? Location ? citizen

6. Copyright © LCDM Forum 2006. All rights reserved 5 Needs of Registry ・ To make the standard apparent. ・ Who has developed or is developing the standard? And what kind of the standard? ・ What kind of problem can be solved? And what the standard related to? Standard Registry ・ There you’ll Register and Search Standard Standard and Data Standard Creator ・ I wonder if there is anyone doing what we have accomplished? ・ We cannot complete the standard. But we need to know that each standard is being worked out somewhere. Standard and Data Standard Creator ・ I wonder if there is anyone doing what we have accomplished? ・ We cannot complete the standard. But we need to know that each standard is being worked out somewhere. System Developer ・ We don’t know how to acquire the standard which should be being worked out concerning some topics. ・ The standard should be being worked out. Because the standard will be influence to our developing product, we want to join the working group or watch the status of standardization.
