  • BIM Data exchange using standard format can provide a user friendly and practical way of integrating the BIM tools in the life cycle of a building on the currently construction industry which is participated various stakeholder. It used IFC format to exchange the BIM data from Design software to energy analysis software. However, since we can not use the material name data in the library of an energy analysis directly, it is necessary to input the material property data for building energy analysis. In this paper, to matching the material named of name of DOE-2 default library, rhe extracted material names from BIM file are inferred by the ontology With this we can make the reliable input data of the engine by development a standard data and also increase the efficient of building energy analysis process. The methodology can enable to provide a direction of BIM-based information management system as a conceptual study of using ontology in the construction industry.

  • A methodology of ontology design and a computer system supporting ontology design are needed. Our research goals include development of a methodology for ontology design and a its support environment. Although several systems for building ontologies have been implemented, they do not consider ontological theory very much. We discuss how to apply the \"role-concept\" and \"relationship\" in our environment, named Hozo, for creating and using ontologies. We present the architecture, functionalities of its modules, its interface and the some experiences on the design and use of ontologies.

  • Conceptual Modeling is the process of abstracting a model from a real or proposed system. It is probably the most important aspect of a simulation study. Relate works show that the elementary developers devoted little time to understanding how the systems actually worked, namely they didn't build appropriate conceptual model. Thus, the result of simulation is inconsistent because it depends on developer's competence. Although many researchers suggested various techniques enabling developer to build conceptual model, there were several limitations. In this study, to overcome the limitations of existing techniques, we proposed COMBINE-DES (COnceptual Model BuildINg framEwork using ontology for Discrete Event Simulation). The COM-BINE-DES supports expediting the conceptual modeling with Solution ontology generated by Domain ontology and Simulation ontology. Moreover, it provides consistent simulation result regardless of repeated modeling.

  • For the purpose of building domain ontology, this paper proposes a methodology for building core ontology first, and then enriching the core ontology with the concepts and relations in the domain thesaurus. First, the top-level concept taxonomy of the core ontology is built using domain dictionary and general domain thesaurus. Then, the concepts of the domain thesaurus are classified into top-level concepts in the core ontology, and relations between broader terms (BT) - narrower terms (NT) and related terms (RT) are classified into semantic relations defined for the core ontology. To classify concepts, a two-step approach is adopted, in which a frequency-based approach is complemented with a similarity-based approach. To classify relations, two techniques are applied: (i) for the case of insufficient training data, a rule-based module is for identifying isa relation out of non-isa ones; a pattern-based approach is for classifying non-taxonomic semantic relations from non-isa. (ii) For the case of sufficient training data, a maximum-entropy model is adopted in the feature-based classification, where k-NN approach is for noisy filtering of training data. A series of experiments show that performances of the proposed systems are quite promising and comparable to judgments by human experts.

  • In the architectural space, the user's behavior is the most important factor in evaluating the quality of architecture. Normally, the evaluation of user behavioral performance was carried out after a building was completed. Recently, interest in and efforts at pre-simulation based on information technology are accelerating. However, since existing user simulation technology is concerned mainly with simply escaping from a large space, it is impossible to simulate the behavior of multiple users in an architectural space. The present study strives to develop a human-figured intelligent agent for advanced user simulation based on ontology. The main purpose of the study is to employ the intelligent behaviors of a NPC(Non-player Character) to infer the ontology of both spatial and user information. In this paper, we intend to integrate ontology inference technology into the virtual space. And also, this study suggest the ontology visualization technology which illustrate the ontology-based information and their change in the spatial information.

  • Researches of current PMIS(Project Management Information System) information searching focus on providing personalized results as well as matching needed queries in an enormous amount of information. This paper aim at discovering hidden knowledge to provide personalized and inferred search results based on the ontology with categorized concepts and relations among construction data. The current PMIS searching occasionally presents too much redundant information or offers no matching results from large volumes of data. In this paper, we propose a service searching system, which becomes aware of users device using iPMIS(Intelligent Program Management Information System). And we design and plant the ontology-based iPMIS, which is aware of the context in its environment.

  • Ontologies have provided supports in integrating heterogeneous and distributed information. More and more ontologies and tools have been developed in various domains. However, building ontologies requires much time and effort. Therefore, ontologies need to be shared and reused among users. Specifically, finding the desired ontology from an ontology repository will benefit users. In the past, most of the studies on retrieving and ranking ontologies have mainly focused on lexical level supports. In those cases, it is impossible to find an ontology that includes concepts that users want to use at the semantic level. Most ontology libraries and ontology search engines have not provided semantic matching capability. Retrieving an ontology that users want to use requires a new ontology selection and ranking mechanism based on semantic similarity matching. We propose an ontology selection and ranking model consisting of selection criteria and metrics which are enhanced in semantic matching capabilities. The model we propose presents two novel features different from the previous research models. First, it enhances the ontology selection and ranking method practically and effectively by enabling semantic matching of taxonomy or relational linkage between concepts. Second, it identifies what measures should be used to rank ontologies in the given context and what weight should be assigned to each selection measure.

  • Current web search includes a lot of different results with information that user does not want, because it searches information using keyword mapping. Ontology can describe the correct meaning of web resource and relationships between web resources. And we can extract suitable information that user wants using Ontology Accordingly, we need the ontology to represent knowledge. W3C announced OWL(Web Ontology Language), meaning description technology for such web resource. However, the development of a special tool that can effectively compose and edit OWL is inactive. In this paper, we designed and developed an OWL authoring system that can effectively provide the generation and edit about OWL.

  • Recently, the demand for connection between various heterogeneous dataset and BIM as a construction data model hub is increasing. In the past, in order to connect model between BIM and heterogeneous dataset, related dataset was stored in the RDBMS, and the service was provided by programming a method to link with the BIM object. This approach causes problems such as the need to modify the database schema and business logic, and the migration of existing data when requirements change. This problem adversely affects the scalability, reusability, and maintainability of model information. This study proposes an ontology BIM-based knowledge service framework considering the connectivity and scalability between BIM and heterogeneous dataset. Through the proposed framework, ontology BIM mapping, semantic information query method for linking between knowledge-expressing dataset and BIM are presented. In addition, to identify the effectiveness of the proposed method, the prototype is developed. Also, the effectiveness and considerations of the ontology BIM-based knowledge service framework are derived.
