OntologWiki: Building Information Service Ontology

Ontology IRI The ontology IRI is used to identify the ontology in the context of the world wide web. This site has been set as the ontology IRI to be the URL where the latest version of the ontology will be published in OWL/XML. (2BZO)

Issues (2B45)

Current ontology in the built environment is not mature. The Open Floor Plan Display / Exchange (OFPD/X) project plan is to build an ontology for: (2BDS)
- Accurate spatial representation (2BDT)
- Correlated temporal representation (2BDU)
- Interoperability and standards harmonization to support data integration for emergency and energy services within the built environment. (2BDV)
To coordinate with related work by others, metadata will be represented in accordance with the ISO/IEC 11179 Metadata Registry (MDR) standard. (2BGM)

Basic concepts (2B47)

Use of ontology in demonstration of a service providing architecture to display and exchange properly-scaled static floor plans with time based (e.g.sensor trigger) dynamic information overlay. (2BDX)
Use of ontology in demonstration of semantic mapping of concepts for the flow of information throughout a response to an emergency incident. Responses and alerts will also be organized by type. (2BDY)
Reasoning over ontology and domain rules to establish and maintain Common Operating Pictures emergency by emergency - improving the ontology and domain rules over time. (2BDZ)
Use of ontologies and geographic locations to limit the number of building codes and standards to be reviewed and incorporated into data about specific buildings. (2BE0)

Below are first passes at ontology structure and terminology refinement, and proposed data elements. (2BE1)

Term: Built Environment (2B4M)
- Context: (2B4N)
- Definition: Human-made buildings and structures, as opposed to natural features. From Encarta (2BE2)

- Context: (2B4W)
- Definition: Surfaces around and on the site supporting vehicle access to the facility (2B4X)
- Class: VehicleAccess (2B4Y)
  - SubClassOf: BuiltEnvironment (2B4Z)

comment: Should contains'X' and has'X' properties be defined explicitly for subclasses Y of class X? e.g. Should there be an object property containsVehicleAccess or should it be kept at a special use of containsBuiltEnvironment? The approach may be to use explicit declarations of object properties in the ontology and more the more general type in an object orientied model where there can be multiple function declarations, e.g. getContainedBuiltEnvironment(containerObjType, containedObjType) with the different Classes/Objects required.
