Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the process of structuring, capturing, creating, and managing a digital representation of physical and/or functional characteristics of a built space [1]. Current BIM has limited ability to represent dynamic semantics, social information, often failing to consider building activity, behavior and context; thus limiting integration with intelligent, built-environment management systems. Research, such as the development of Semantic Exchange Modules, and/or the linking of IFC with semantic web structures, demonstrates the need for building models to better support complex semantic functionality. To implement model semantics effectively, however, it is critical that model designers consider semantic information constructs. This paper discusses semantic models with relation to determining the most suitable information structure. We demonstrate how semantic rigidity can lead to significant long-term problems that can contribute to model failure. A sufficiently detailed feasibility study is advised to maximize the value from the semantic model. In addition we propose a set of questions, to be used during a model's feasibility study, and guidelines to help assess the most suitable method for managing semantics in a built environment.

“…Variables within 'standards' category can be classified into two constituents, the 'process' and 'product' standards. Literature in this issue has generally focused on the 'product' standards perspective for 'modelling' and 'exchanging' (Caldas and Soibelman 2003;Kim and Grobler 2007;Tobin 2008). Caldas and Soibelman (2003) exerted the active use of 'process' standards for construction documentations.…”

Recent advances in building information modelling (BIM) have disseminated the utilization of three-dimensional (3D) graphic information in the construction industry. Nevertheless, overall and practical effectiveness of BIM utilization is difficult to justify at this stage. The purpose of this paper is to propose a BIM framework focusing on the issues of practicability for real-world projects. Even though previous efforts in the BIM framework has properly addressed the BIM variables, comprehensive issues in terms of BIM effectiveness need to be further developed. A thorough literature review of computer-integrated construction (CIC) and BIM was performed first in order to interpret the BIM in a global perspective. A comprehensive BIM framework is then developed to address the variables for theory and implementation. This framework can provide a basis for evaluating promising areas and identifying driving factors for practical BIM effectiveness.

“…Kim, Grobler [1] defines the ontology as an explicit specification of a conceptualization. Guarino agreeing with Gruber and presents a refined distinction between the ontology and the conceptualization: the ontology is a logical theory accounting for the intended meaning of a formal vocabulary, i.e., its ontological commitment to a particular conceptualization of the world.…”

Pre-planning stage is a most important stage to determine the success of the project throughout the construction lifecycle. Therefore, all information generated from the pre-planning stage must be processed and retained in the format which all the project participants can share. Furthermore, using object-oriented attributes and meta-data in BIM (Building Information Modeling) for easy control of the space objects are actively being studied. This paper investigates ontology and its description logic (OWLDL) and establishes it in the pre-planning stage of construction project and will also carry out a case study based on a real project in Korea. The special objects will be created and the relationship of these special objects will be defined. An ontology diagram will be suggested that will control the special objects with the constraints applied.
