Related Problem

◼ Model View Definitions (MVDs) can be serialized in mvdXML format� mvdXML 1.0
� mvdXML 1.1 - outcome of the buildingSMART International Project S1015 "Enabling trust in BIM deliveries"
◼ Main drawbacks of mvdXML for extracting building views:
Lack of logical formalisms
MVD solely considers the IFC schema
MVD-based view constructors aren't very flexible and dynamic

Types of Views
7
An abstract view can be pre-defined as a set of logical rules by using ifcOWL vocabulary
• Those rules can be stored with building data and schema
A concrete view can be automatically generated based on rules and the ifcOWL ontology (populated)
Users can easily define rule-
based views !

Defining Views through Rules
8
Abstract views
• Pre-defined, stored and exchanged
Concrete views
• Built from IFC data
• Using abstract view definitions (i.e. rules).
Easily configurable
• Set of concepts (C)
• Set of GUIDs (G)
• Set of IFC relationships (R)
A rule-based system to construct
building views

Defining a building envelope view
Horn-like rules
•Specify which elements are part of the view
Horn-like rules
•Definition of new concepts pertaining to the considered view
Horn-like rules
•Map the newly defined concepts to the view

For simplicity's sake, we consider as a building
envelope all external doors, windows and walls

Conclusions
Benefits of using MVD with semantic web technologies
Less or no code needed
Storage of abstract view along with data and schema
Users can easily define building views:
• GUIDs, IFC concepts or personalized concepts (rules)
Benefits of semantic web rule syntax
Automatic generation of concrete views
Easier exchange and implementation of abstract views
No need to develop an mvdXML parser
Everything is already coded in the semantic graph database

Model 1 Model 2 Model 3 … Model N
e.g IFC e.g. bSDD
(extra data than IFC)
Exchange requirement = Subset of information from the different considered models ?
e.g. {subset of Model1} ∩ {subset of Model2} ∩ {subset of ModelN}
e.g. Energy model
if YES, 2 solutions with Semantic Web Technologies:
- either SPARQL query
- either define a rule (IF -> THEN )
