The Shared Object Model provides an environment for collaboration around information in a semantic object model and fosters real-time collaboration and data exchange by allowing multiple stakeholders to work concurrently within a single, unified seamless object model. It handles outgoing and incoming work sets from Trimble Connect Object Manager and manages collaboration through the reserve, release, and receive of tasks in work sets.
The creation of a Shared Object Model involves merging numerous individual models alongside other relevant source data. This aggregation results in a comprehensive, single model characterized by a unified data structure and a standardized ontology based on IFC. Despite this central consolidation of information, each contributing individual model retains a degree of "independence." This is achieved through the process and task management concepts, allowing for straightforward updates and efficient management of specific model components for various analytical and coordination purposes
To populate and manage the data in the Shared Object Model it is required to use the Trimble Connect Object Manager - a desktop client that manages Shared Object Model worksets with all its content (tasks, objects and network). Changes from the Shared Object Model side are merged into local worksets (receive), while changes in worksets are shared to server side. Only changes are shared. All CRUD operations are done in the context of worksets in Object Manager.
