... knowledge granularity and the boundaries of model advantage. This study develops a Bridge Engineering Construction Safety Knowledge Model (BECS-KM) to narrow this gap and to investigate these challenges. Design/methodology/approach BECS-KM is built using ontology and knowledge graph techniques grounded...

... and a lack of standardized mechanisms to capture and reuse cross-disciplinary user insights, rendering user-experience factors subjective and difficult to formalize. This study aims to address these issues by proposing an integrated, requirement-oriented ontology that formalizes occupant needs into a unified...

.... Our research addresses this gap by developing both an ontology and a tool to utilize risk information regarding the performance gap in buildings. Design/methodology/approach Research into this topic began with the creation of an energy performance gap-risk ontology for new and existing buildings...

... of the ontology. It can support efficient contract review and assist the decision-making process in contract risk management. It is well recognized that ontology technology is an effective tool for knowledge modeling, which has been involved in construction contract management and claims. However...

...Fanfan Meng; Xinying Cao Purpose This study establishes an ontology-based framework for rework risk identification (RRI) by integrating heterogeneous data from the information flow of the prefabricated construction (PC) process. The main objective is to enhance the automation level of rework...

... computer vision can achieve defect recognition, there is a gap between the low-level semantics acquired by computer vision and the high-level semantics that humans understand from images. Therefore, computer vision and ontology are combined to achieve intelligent evaluation and decision-making...

... developed an ontological inference engine as an integrated part of a constraint-based simulation system that configures the construction processes, defines activities and manages resources considering a variety of requirements and constraints during the simulation. It allows for the incorporation...

... in the construction industry. Design/methodology/approach – Standardized web service technology is used in the proposed framework for data specification, transfer, and integration. Open standard SAWSDL is used to annotate web service descriptions with pointers to concepts defined in ontologies. NoSQL database...
