Bim Process, Ontologies and Interchange Platform for Cultural Architectural Heritage Management: State of Art and Development Perspectives

Abstract

Ontology meaning and its declination in computer science are defined in the contribution. Some experiences of using ontologies for Cultural Heritage frame the state of the art. Specific ontologies for the conservation process allows the definition of classes and their description through attributes. Subjects, means, tools, relationships, and planning of activities, times and costs are included in the process. Ontologies so defined are also the basis for the definition of an interoperability protocol for Cultural Heritage. Interoperability means exchange among the tools, with the guarantee that data and meanings transmitted are correctly interpreted by the receiving system. The paper proposes the kind of informative model for built heritage. Defining the basis for ontologies is the goal. The flow of information in a Common Data Environment, a data exchange platform, is necessary to ensure proper data and process management.

Semantic interoperability for cultural heritage conservation: Workflow from ontologies to a tool for managing and sharing data

“…Decay (type decay, Uniclass code and GuBIMclass code, note decay, urgency, gravity, type of construction and ID element) and so on. This structure is at the base of Alessandra Pili's doctoral thesis [64].…”

“…Interoperability is defined by ISO/IEC 2382 [3], as the ability to exchange data without losing or misunderstanding information or, in other words, to exchange different functional units. The definition of specific ontologies for Cultural Heritage allows the achievement of interoperability among models for applying the BIM method to the Cultural Heritage sector [4].…”
