INFORMATION MODELING:
design that is developed for building, transportation network, infrastructure and land modeling.

BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING (BIM):
process of generating building data for its lifecycle. Includes:

Room Information Modeling (RIM): security/surveillance, air quality/ventilation, sound proofing, temperature, lighting, energy usage.
Exterior Information Modeling (EIM): security/surveillance, evacuation routes.
Maintenance Information Modeling (MIM): maintenance.
Pest Information Modeling (PIM): pest control.

TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION MODELING (TIM):
process of generating transportation data for its lifecycle. Includes:

Highway Information Modeling (HIM): traffic patterns, closures, electronic signage.
Bridge Information Modeling (BIM): elevation/clearance, drawbridge, wind speed, seismic activity.
Roadway Information Modeling (RIM): traffic, addressing, emergency response, natural disasters.
Tunnel Information Modeling (TIM): depth/clearance, loadbearing, seismic activity.

INFRASTRUCTURE INFORMATION MODELING (IIM):
process of generating infrastructure data for its lifecycle. Includes:

Drainage Information Modeling (DIM): water level, obstructions.
Utilities Information Modeling (UIM): circuit break, capacity.

LAND INFORMATION MODELING (LIM):
process of generating land data for its lifecycle. Includes:

Residence Information Modeling (RIM): demographics, elevation.
(includes "RezMatrix": Database which contains longitude, latitude, elevation of every residence. Also contains keypoints such as international boundaries, state lines, county lines, city limits, coasts, floodplains, volcano centers, fault lines, aquifers, known bush fire zones, known tornado zones. User can precisely determine every residence within specified distance of keypoints, within specified distance of line segements between multiple keypoints, at/between certain latitudes/longitudes, at/between certain elevations. Distances can be adjusted by mile integers; latitudes/longitudes can be adjusted by 1/10th of degrees; and elevations can be adjusted by foot integers. Boundaries (country/state/county/city/neighborhood), latitudes/longitudes, contours and elevations can be done individually or in groups. Elevations can be separated/grouped by subterranean, ground level and superterranean, also individually or in groups. Locations can be separated/grouped by permanent/temporary, land/water and mobile.)
Business Information Modeling (BIM): demographics, elevation.
(includes "BizMatrix": Database for businesses, similar to above.)
