Reusing Domain Ontologies in Linked Building Data: The Case of Building Automation and Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
Linked data and semantic web technologies are gaining impact and importance in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Facility Management (AEC/FM) industry. Whereas we have seen a strong technological shift with the emergence of Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools, this second technological shift to the exchange and management of building data over the web might be even stronger than the first one. In order to make this a success, the AEC/FM industry will need strong and appropriate ontologies, as they will allow industry practitioners to structure their data in a commonly agreed format and exchange the data. Herein, we look at the ontologies that are emerging in the area of Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS). We propose a BACS ontology in strong alignment with existing ontologies and evaluate how it can be used for capturing automation and control systems of a building by modeling a use case.

Design of Reusable Building Control Algorithms
Reusable Control Algorithms are an important base for reusable Control Software. They are highly welcomed in every control application, so in building automation, too. Building automation is used throughout the paper to illustrate the results by a typical application domain. The paper outlines the general development process of control algorithms and discusses the possibilities to adapt them to...
متن کاملBuilding ontologies from folksonomies and linked data: Data structures and Algorithms
We present the data structures and algorithms used in the approach for building domain ontologies from folksonomies and linked data. In this approach we extracts domain terms from folksonomies and enrich them with semantic information from the Linked Open Data cloud. As a result, we obtain a domain ontology that combines the emergent knowledge of social tagging systems with formal knowledge fro...
متن کاملA Web-based Toolkit for Large-scale Ontologies
There is no doubt that those large-scale domain ontologies are playing a critical role in building a large variety of semantic-based systems. It’s important and urgent to share and reuse large-scale ontologies to support semantic-based applications in a more efficient way. In this paper, we propose a web-based toolkit for building and reusing large-scale ontologies. The toolkit consists of a we...

The criteria used in order of priority and importance include: ty...
متن کاملSABiO: Systematic Approach for Building Ontologies
This paper presents the version 2.0 of SABiO a Systematic Approach for Building Ontologies. SABiO focus on the development of domain ontologies, and propose also support and management processes, which are strongly linked to the development process. SABiO distinguishes between reference and operational ontologies, providing activities that apply to the development of both types of domain ontolo...
