ABSTRACT
Porting an application from one building to another requires a common format for modeling buildings. Brick provides such a format, but details still need to be flushed out and the community has to agree on how to apply the Brick ontology. In this paper, we demonstrate one way of building a dashboard application which uses a Brick model as its configuration gateway. From the Brick model it extracts links to secondary resources, that (i) don't fit naturally in an RDF model like Brick, and (ii) can be shared by other applications. We hope that availability of concrete applications will foster a grounded discussion how to apply Brick.
