Collaborating to Solve Real-World Challenges.

List of Domain Working Groups

Domain Working Groups (DWGs) cover 10 broad domains: Aviation, Built Environment & 3D, Business Intelligence, Defense & Intelligence, Emergency Response and Disaster Management, Energy & Utilities, Geosciences & Environment, Government and Spatial Data Infrastructure, Mobile Internet & Location Services, Sensor Webs, University & Research. By default, a DWG will allow public collaboration. Only public DWGs are listed here and Chairs are omitted.

If you cannot find the DWG you are looking for or would like more information, please get in touch with us.

3D Information Management Domain Working Group

It is facilitating the definition and development of interface and encoding standards that enable software to develop solutions that allow infrastructure owners, builders, emergency responders, community planners, and the traveling public to better manage and navigate complex built environments.
