Abstract
People and knowledge represent the corporation's strategic asset. Engaging mobile knowledge workers, managing and reusing corporate knowledge is still challenging. Nevertheless, it can lead to greater competitive advantage and higher quality products. This paper presents a working software environment that demonstrates how BIM (building information model) can be expanded to become a rich multimedia BKM (building knowledge model). We present the theoretical and practical points of departure that include: (1) knowledge management and re-use focusing on how a corporation can capitalize on its core competence by turning its knowledge into working knowledge? (2) Interaction design focusing on what are the cognitive interactions when creating new knowledge, augmenting and sharing building models? We demonstrate and discuss the benefits of the software environment with an industry project case study.
