This deliverable (D8.4 Dissemination Master Plan and Publicity Material V2) is an update of D8.2. In order to keep it highly informative, those parts which have already been described in detail in D8.2 are presented in condensed form in this deliverable. The document covers the dissemination plan for the entire remaining period of the DURAARK project. Since this means a forecast for the next two years, not all plans can be presented in a detailed form, as for example dates and agendas for conferences during 2015 are in many cases not published yet. The DURAARK project covers many areas such as digital preservation, semantic enrichment and the comparison of as-planned and as-built state of architectural structures. The outcomes of each area have, so far, mainly been disseminated one by one through subject-specific channels. In the remaining project period these dissemination activities will be complemented by joint consortium activities, where all main outcomes of the project will be presented and discussed at joint events. Special attention has been put on DURAARK´s potential for contribution to standardization. Amongst other efforts this includes the envisaged extension of an IFC file format towards the IFC/A standard, which will provide vast possibilities of semantic enrichment as well as support for efficient 3D point cloud storage. Our assessment is furthermore that DURAARK can substantially contribute towards the development of standard procedures for the preservation of 3D architectural objects.

This report describes the first version of the integrated software prototype comprising the software prototypes developed in DURAARK so far. It exposes the functionality of the prototypes as a service-oriented platform (the "Workbench") and provides it to stakeholders via a coherent graphical user interface (the "WorkbenchUI"), yielding an integrated application for performing long-term archival tasks for BIM data from the view of a front-end stakeholder. Additionally, the software acts as a service provider for third party developers to be able to integrate the functionality developed in DURAARK in their own (existing) applications. The report guides a stakeholder through the usage of the graphical user interface, describes the components on a technical level and gives interested readers and developers information on how to use the Workbench as a service provider.
