The Room OSID provides a service for space accounting.
Rooms
A Room is an identifiable space on a
Floor. A room genus Type may indicate the primary type of
a Room, such as a classroom, an office, or
a condo. Rooms may have subdivisions, as in
the Gran Ballrrom may be partitioned into Ballroom-A and
Ballroom-B.
Rooms may also have fixed
Resources such as projectors and refridgerators.
These Resources represent classes of
equipment of interest when searching for rooms. Specific
inventory management can be performed in the Inventory
OSID.
Floors
A Floor contains a set of Rooms
within a Building.
Buildings
Buildings have an Address
and may be subdivided into smaller buildings. For
example, Building 14 includes buildings 14E and 14N.
Contact Orchestration
Room, Floors, or
Buildings may have contact information for a
variety of purposes including ownership, scheduling, and
maintenance. These contact relationships can be performed
by orchestrating the Contact OSID.
Mapping & Resources
The Room OSID provides more detailed management the
space accounting than what is capable from the more
abtrsact Resource or Mapping OSIDs. Rooms,
Floors or Buildings in the
Room OSID may appear by way of Resources or
Locations in other OSIDs.
In addition to defining abstract Locations,
the Mapping OSID manages geospatial information of
Locations using Coordinate
and SpatialUnits. To manage geospatial information with
respect to the Room OSID, the Mapping OSID can be
orchestrated by mapping Rooms,
Floors, and Buildings to
Locations.
Campus Cataloging
Rooms, Floors, and Buildings
may be organized into federateable
OsidCatalogs of Campuses.
Sub Packages
The Room OSID includes a Room Squatting OSID for
relating owners or users of rooms, a Room Construction
OSID for tracking construction of and within buildings.
and a Room Batch OSID for performing bulk operations.
