Semantic web technologies for facilities management

Facility management is the practice of coordinating the physical workplace with the people and work of the organization. It integrates the principles of business administration, architecture and the behavioral and engineering sciences. To deal with these requirements, we have developed a framework based on Semantic Web technologies: RDF, OWL, SWRL and named graph. This framework, called C-DMF, allows facilities manager to organize all knowledge generating during building lifecycle in end-user contextual graphs.

INTEROPERABILITY BETWEEN GIS AND BIM A Semantic-based Multi-representation Approach

International audience; Interoperability of information systems is partially resolved due to many standards such as networks protocols, XML derived languages and object oriented programming. Nevertheless, semantic heterogeneity limits collaborative works and interoperability. Despite ontology and other semantic technics, the binding of heterogeneous information systems requires new technics of managing and displaying information according to the semantic representation of each stakeholder of the collaboration. In this paper we addressed the problem of merging geographical information systems and building information model. The way to achieve this goal must solve several heterogeneity proble…

Recommender system for combination of learning elements in mobile environment

5 pages; International audience; The paper presents an ongoing research about the development of a new recommender system dedicated to m-learning. This system is an extension of content based recommender system proposals. It's made of three levels architecture: 1/ a domain model describing the knowledge of teaching, 2/ a user model defining learner's profile and learning's context, 3/ an adaptation model containing rules and metaheuristics, which aims at combining learning modules. Our system takes into account the spatio-temporal context of the learners, the evolution of learner's profile and the dynamic adaptation of modules during the learning process in a mobile environment. The result …

A Graph-based Tool for the Translation of XML Data to OWL-DL Ontologies

International audience; Today most of the data exchanged between information systems is done with the help of the XML syntax. Unfortunately when these data have to be integrated, the integration becomes difficult because of the semantics' heterogeneity. Consequently, leading researches in the domain of database systems are moving to semantic model in order to store data and its semantics definition. To benefit from these new systems and technologies, and to integrate different data sources, a flexible method consists in populating an existing OWL ontology from XML data. In paper we present such a method based on the definition of a graph which represents rules that drive the populating proc…

INCONSISTENCY IDENTIFICATION IN DYNAMIC ONTOLOGIES BASED ON MODEL CHECKING

International audience; The increasing use of ontologies and the cost of changes support the need to manage the evolution of ontologies. A common kind of error in ontology evolution is the logical contradiction declined as incoherences and inconsistences. In this paper, we propose a new approach to predict and identify the incoherences and inconsistences in the evolution of ontologies based on temporal logic and ontology design patterns. We implement the proposed approach using the NuSMV model checker. Based on these patterns, we propose an automated process to guide and monitor the implementation of change while ensuring the consistency of the evolved ontology.

Tourism-km: A variant of MMKP applied to the tourism domain

International audience; We are interested in an original real-world problem coming from tourism field. We describe a modelling of the problem and propose a first approach that mixes knowledge management and operational research methods. Our algorithms have been implemented in order to produce tourism solutions that are not unique for a given request but that take into account the preferences of the tourist user and provide a personalized solution. We report computational results obtained on real-world instances.

GRAPH-BASED RULES FOR XML DATA CONVERSION TO OWL ONTOLOGY

International audience; The paper presents a flexible method to enrich and populate an existing OWL ontology from XML data based on graph-based rules. These rules are defined in order to populate automatically a new version of an OWL ontology. Today, most of data exchanged between information systems is done with the help of the XML document. Leading researches in the domain of database systems are moving to semantic model in order to store data and its semantics definition. This flexible method consists in populating an existing OWL ontology from XML data. In paper we present such a method based on the definition of a graph which represents rules that drive the populating process.

Semantics knowledge management for the 3D architectural reconstruction of building objects

International audience; This paper presents the framework of an ongoing semantics knowledge management practice. The practice combines geometrical analysis of point cloud and semantic rules to detect 3D building objects for the purpose of achieving computational correctness and efficiency. We assume that improvement in the form of well organized classification (CLA) and order (ORD) is a solution. Statically related knowledge is classified as definition, partial knowledge and ambiguous knowledge and formally revealed with transitions between CWA (closed world assumption) and OWA (open world assumption). To achieve the correctness, formalization is proposed for the validation of the rules thr…
