Building Ontology to Develop BIM-based Building Simulation system

BIM기반 건축 시뮬레이션 개발을 위한 온톨로지 구축

Building Information Modelings(BIM) are more complex than typically required for early phase of the design process of a building. Construction projects have many participants from various disciplines involved throughout the entire process. Therefore the success of the project greatly depend on the efficiency of decision-making using the information generated from each process stage. This research utilized an ontology to provide an underlying structure of objects and relationships of a building. The OWL is introduced as a main vehicle to encode the information and knowledge about the building structures and spaces. A case study was conducted to develop a structured representation of an ontology where the relationships among the necessary components in the stage of preliminary design were to be automatically utilized to plan on the sizes of each room in a building and structured thoroughly with a simple structured representation.
