A Hybrid Model for Building Code Representation Based on Four-Level and Semantic Modeling Approaches

چکیده
This paper presents a study in the field of automated compliance checking, concentrating on building code representations. A new model for representing building codes in computable form is developed for use in building automated compliance checking systems. The model adopts Nyman and Fenves’s four-level representation paradigm as a theoretical base and uses the semantic modeling approach of the SMARTcodes project for developing the building code representation. This hybrid model breaks down the representation into four levels which allows separate modeling of domain concepts, individual rule statements, relationships between rules, and the overall organization of the building code. The applicability of the model has been evaluated with a case study. The İzmir Municipality Housing and Zoning Code has been chosen as a document that represents a complex code document that is in effect throughout Turkey. The formalizable rules in this code have been modeled based on the new representation. This research shows that decomposing a building code into four levels and modeling rules based on the semantic-oriented paradigm is an effective modeling strategy for representing building codes in a computable form that is independent of automated compliance checking systems.

A Joint Semantic Vector Representation Model for Text Clustering and Classification
Text clustering and classification are two main tasks of text mining. Feature selection plays the key role in the quality of the clustering and classification results. Although word-based features such as term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) vectors have been widely used in different applications, their shortcoming in capturing semantic concepts of text motivated researches to use...
متن کاملDeveloping a BIM-based Spatial Ontology for Semantic Querying of 3D Property Information
With the growing dominance of complex and multi-level urban structures, current cadastral systems, which are often developed based on 2D representations, are not capable of providing unambiguous spatial information about urban properties. Therefore, the concept of 3D cadastre is proposed to support 3D digital representation of land and properties and facilitate the communication of legal owners...
متن کاملImage Classification via Sparse Representation and Subspace Alignment
Image representation is a crucial problem in image processing where there exist many low-level representations of image, i.e., SIFT, HOG and so on. But there is a missing link across low-level and high-level semantic representations. In fact, traditional machine learning approaches, e.g., non-negative matrix factorization, sparse representation and principle component analysis are employed to d...

Named entities recognition is a fundamental task in the field of natural language processing. It is also known as a subset of information extraction. The process of recognizing named entities aims at finding proper nouns in the text and classifying them into predetermined classes such as names of people, organizations, and places. In this paper, we propose a named entity recognizer which benefi...

Schema matching is a critical step in many applications, such as data warehouse loading, Online Analytical Process (OLAP), Data mining, semantic web [2] and schema integration. This task is defined for finding the semantic correspondences between elements of two schemas. Recently, schema matching has found considerable interest in both research and practice. In this paper, we present a new impr...
