This greatly limits the ability to transfer information between applications and utilize it in subsequent analyses. It can be frustrating to be a drafter (or an Artificial Intelligence engine) trying to learn what curbs (or kerbs) look like if no one can agree, for instance, whether flow line or back-of-curb is the defining feature.

Very instructive webinar. The need to include standardised metadata in point clouds covering source, accuracy, age etc.. is becoming increasingly important with the proliferation of very different measurement devices producing output in the same formats.
