IFC-based clash detection for the open-source BIMserver

When designing construction objects, different disciplines have to collaborate intensively. Each discipline is responsible for its own contribution to the overall design. However, when the partial designs are combined, objects from different disciplines might occupy the same position in space or 'clash'. Such a clash will often be noticed during...

Asset information management using linked data for the life-cycle of roads

From September 2016 to August 2018 a CEDR (Conference of European Directors of Roads) research has been conducted by the consortium INTERLINK into asset information management for European Roads life-cycle management using Linked Data. This research aims to improve interoperability between the European National Road Authorities (NRAs) and their...

Linked energy data: Enabling monitoring and decision support for improved energy management

This paper shows how the European Odysseus project [6] reduces energy/CO2 by improved decision making based on multi-level, semantic, energy configuration/monitoring data fully based on open standards (W3C Linked Data approach / Semantic Web technology) and an open source semantic server (Apache Marmotta) implementing those standards. © 2015 IEEE.

Open standard CMO for parametric modelling based on semantic web

The Open Standard Concept Modelling Ontology (CMO) with Extensions makes it possible to store parametric modelling semantics and parametric geometry in a Semantic Web environment. The parametric and geometrical part of CMO with Extensions is developed within the EU project Proficient. The nature of the Semantic Web with support for multiple...

Het inbedden van BIM. In interactiekaders en objectbibliotheken

Een bouwwerkinformatiemodel (BIM) zelf lost de tekortkomingen van ICTondersteuning in de bouwproductieketen niet adequaat op. Een BIM zou moeten worden ingebed in een formele beschrijving van alle benodigde uitwisselingsvereisten. De ISO/buildingSMART standaard Information Delivery Manual (IDM) is een perfect uitgangspunt voor een dergelijk...

Semantic product modelling and configuration: Challenges and opportunities

The European Semantic Web-based Open engineering Platform, project (SWOP 2008) is concerned with business innovation when specifying products to suit end-user's requirements and objectives This paper will show how Semantic Web (SW) technology of the Word Wide Web Consortium (W3C) can be used to its fullest to model the products to be developed...

An innovative approach for the fast flexible production enterprise: The SWOP project

Adapting advanced engineering design approaches to building design. Potential benefits

A number of industries continuously progress advancing their design approaches based on the changing market constraints. Examples such as car, ship and airplane manufacturing industries utilize process setups and techniques, that differ significantly from the processes and techniques used by the traditional building industry. One important...

Electronic communication in the building and construction industry: Wat will eConstruct bring about?

The paper presents the aims and goals of a recently started new European project (ISTi 10303) titled eConstruct, from electronic Business in the building and construction Industry: Preparing for the New Internet. The project focuses on the development of Internet communication technology that can replace many of the traditional communications...
