BIM ONTOLOGY: TOWARD A COGNITIVE ARCHITECTURAL POLICY
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.56238/levv17n58-069Keywords:
Open Linked Data, Semantic Web, Ontology, Regulatory BodiesAbstract
The article describes the methodology for creating an ontology-building program in OWL. The system uses two main elements: Excel spreadsheets, which organize classes, properties, and test instances in a BIM domain, and a processing mechanism programmed in C# (Revit API 5.0). This mechanism reads the spreadsheets and generates OWL files in Manchester syntax and TTL turtle. The work revisits concepts from the 1980s and 1990s, highlighting the importance of ontologies for integrating BIM data into the Semantic Web, within the Open Linked Data paradigm. It advocates for the formulation of a cognitive architecture policy for processes, with regulatory bodies acting as centers for knowledge dissemination, suggesting a reformulation of the ways technical standards are published. Finally, in view of the advance of AI agents, the article reinforces the importance of investing in the structuring of factual knowledge.
