“…Online BIM product documents are usually written in a way for human beings to read, but not formally described as the standardized concepts within the IFC specification. Many previous studies [18,19,21,22] have shown that fundamental characteristics of human verbal behavior have greatly limited engineering document retrieval. On the one hand, information providers often use different words for describing the same meaning or concept (synonymy) because of the tremendous variety in the vocabulary.…”

“…Li et al [19] developed an engineering ontology in mechanical design and manufacturing, and applied the ontology to concept tagging and indexing for retrieving unstructured engineering documents and CAD drawings. Weissman et al [21] proposed a computational framework and a software tool based on this framework for writing, annotating, and searching computer-interpretable product design specifications. Lin et al [22] presented a passage partitioning approach according to a domain ontology, which provided the ability to generate the concepts in each passage.…”

With the rapid popularity of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technologies, BIM resources such as building product libraries are growing rapidly on the World Wide Web. However, numerous BIM resources are usually from heterogeneous systems or various manufacturers with ambiguous expressions and uncertain categories for product descriptions, which cannot provide effective support for information retrieval and categorization applications. Therefore, there is an increasing need for semantic annotation to reduce the ambiguity and unclearness of natural language in BIM documents. Based on Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) which is a major standard for BIM, this paper presents a concept-based automatic semantic annotation method for the documents of online BIM products. The method mainly consists of the following two stages. Firstly, with reference to the concepts and relationships explicitly defined in IFC, a word-level annotation algorithm is applied to the word-sense disambiguation. Secondly, based on latent semantic analysis technique, a document-level annotation algorithm is proposed to discover the relationships which are not explicitly

“…A correct scrutiny of LCs is deemed crucial to avoid focusing only on the phase of product's use [97], losing opportunities to identify sources of value. Not surprisingly, the correct examination of LCs is traditionally deemed critical within the correct definition of product specifications in engineering tasks [98,99].…”

A DISCUSSION ON NEW NECESSITY-BASED METHOD FOR REQUIREMENTS LIST ELICITATION AND REQUIREMENTS CLASSIFICATION Špela Brglez, Bojan DolšakOriginal scientific paper Establishing appropriate requirements is essential in early phases of product design for obtaining enough information and in order not to over-constrain the product. Consequences of failing to do so are discussed. An overview of state-of-the-art methodologies for eliciting and classifying requirements is presented. Existing elicitation methods tend not to focus on the requirements content and the classification methods overlook the missing requirements. To overcome this gap a new method for requirements elicitation and classification is proposed. It defines the universally necessary requirements, productspecific necessary requirements and optional requirements. The appropriateness of the method is verified with a case-study on air ventilation register box and expert opinions. The positive contribution of the method is confirmed through evaluation with novice design engineers. Keywords: decision making; design knowledge; design methodology; product design Rasprava o novoj metodi za formiranje liste zahtjeva i klasifikaciju zahtjeva utemeljenoj na potrebamaIzvorni znanstveni članak Određivanje odgovarajućih zahtjeva od bitne je važnosti u ranim fazama projektiranja proizvoda kako bi se dobilo dovoljno informacija i da ne bi previše ograničili proizvod. U radu se razmatra što se može dogoditi ako se to ne učini. Daje se pregled najsuvremenijih metodologija za izbor i klasificiranje potrebnih svojstava proizvoda. Postojeće metode odabira uglavnom nisu usmjerene na sadržaj potrebnih zashtjeva i metode klasifikacije zahtjeva koji nedostaju. Zbog toga se predlaže nova metoda određivanja i klasifikacije porebnih zahtjeva. Njome se definiraju univerzalno potrebni zahtjevi, neophodni zahtjevi specifična za razvijani proizvod te zahtjevi po izboru. Prikladnost metode provjerena je na slučaju analize rada regulatora za ispuštanje zraka i mišljenja stručnjaka. Pozitivni doprinos metode potvrđen je evaluacijom od strane novih projektanata.
