Semantic Web and Linked Data for Information Exchange between the Building and Product Manufacturing Industries: A Literature Review

Abstract

Easy and solid information exchange constitutes an important part in BIM-based projects. To conduct reliable simulations and optimizations, information about products, such as luminaries, windows, doors, etc., need to be provided by the manufacturing industries to the building designers at the early design stage. Several studies and ongoing researches presented the Semantic Web (SW) and Linked Data (LD) technologies as an interoperable and flexible approach for providing product information from the manufacturers during the design and construction stage as well as gathering consumers data to the manufacturers during the operation stage. A systematic literature review has been conducted to investigate benefits and limitations of using the SW and LD technologies for developing product data templates for information exchanges between the building and product manufacturing industries in comparison with the conventional approach of information exchanges using the openBIM standards. Results show that SW and LD could apport considerable benefits to the information exchange in the building sector. Moreover, SW and LD technologies enable the sharing of products' information from manufacturers to designers who can search product information, compare different products and take informed design decisions during the very beginning of the design process.

Exploring Simulation Workflows, Tools, and Metrics for Beyond-Vision Effects in Multi-Objective Optimization: A Scoping Review

“…This process has some limitations like long simulation time, no single integrated tool that could investigate all aspects, a reduced information flow, and lost information between tools, software compatibility issues. According to Kebede et al [9], these limitations would lead to double the work of recreating models, and manually inputting information into building models. In general, the information flow between product data or existing multi-disciplinary models and simulation tools are not discussed in these studies.…”

“…Consequently, the information input and digital model complexity increase rapidly [8]. Therefore, standardisation and digital support are required to optimise human-driven, multiobjective lighting design [9].…”

Factors Determining Turnaround Strategies for Declining, Large, High-tech organizations

“…The CIMO framework frames a design-oriented research question, which helps offer practical interventions/solutions to issues faced by management professionals and organizations across different contexts (Costa et al, 2018). Using the CIMO framework to identify the different keywords that should be part of the search strategy also helps to determine the scope of the research (Kebede et al, 2020).…”

Transformação digital na indústria da construção: Capacitando a gestão de dados através de uma plataforma de modelos de dados de produtos (PDT)

“…Isso melhora a eficiência, reduz erros e promove uma abordagem holística, garantindo que sistemas diversos possam trocar e utilizar dados de forma harmoniosa ao longo do ciclo de vida da construção. No entanto, o cenário da construção está repleto de inconsistências em relação aos dados de produtos de construção [8][9][10][11]. Isso pode levar a interpretações incorretas, erros e ineficiências, prejudicando a tomada de decisões eficaz e a colaboração entre os intervenientes.…”
