Design of an empirical study to measure the comprehension of 3D and 4D ontology-driven conceptual models

چکیده
In this paper, we describe the hypotheses and the design of an empirical study to investigate the impact of adopting a 3D and a 4D foundational ontology on the pragmatic quality of a conceptual model. More specifically, we intend to measure the impact of the metaphysical characteristics of an ontology on the comprehension and understandability of the ontology-driven models by its users. Our research aims to make the following contributions: (1) while much effort in ontology-driven conceptual modeling (ODCM) has been devoted into the syntactic and semantic aspects of models for improving their overall quality, this research focuses on the pragmatic aspect of a model; and (2) since little empirical research has yet been performed in this area, we plan to perform an empirical study in order to investigate the fundamental differences between 3D and 4D ontology-driven models.

Developing 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...

In our country, research on architectural design process, is based on two main theoretical approaches; one is the system of Islamic theosophy, and the other is recent empirical studies on design methodology. The main problem here, is to find out the relationship between these two viewpoints, to attend the domain›s pathology, like misunderstanding and oversight of the position and order of theor...
متن کامل4D geomechanical simulations for field development planning
3D and 4D geomechanical can be time-consuming to build and calibrate. However, once such a model is built, it is relative straightforward to use this model for various field development and management applications. In so doing, the return on the initial investment of time and effort in the creation of a 4D geomechanical model can be substantial. I present a case study where a 4D geomechanical m...

Reservoir modeling is the process of generating numerical representations of reservoir conditions and properties on the basis of geological, geophysical, and engineering data measured on the Earth’s surface or in depth at a limited number of borehole locations. Therefore, reservoir modeling requires an incorporation of the data from a variety of sources, along with an integration of knowledge a...
