HiGeoMes: Distributed Geodatabases in an archaeological joint research project
2013
International audience; The project 'HiGeoMes' seeks to connect knowledge about archaeological sites in the Near East with place names in ancient sources of the 2nd millennium BC. The paper describes the digital approach to integrate textual and geographical information by emphasizing the impact of interfaces linking diverse datasets. Several OGC-based Web services provide reviewed archaeological information in a Web GIS with query capabilities. Place-related philological data are stored in an OWL-store to model the topological relations of unidentified sites. An interface integrates a graph-viewer with the Web GIS by invoking both WFS- and REST-services to spatially integrate the datasets.…
Semantic Trajectory Modeling for Dynamic Built Environments
2017
This paper presents a data model to capture moving and changing objects in the context of dynamic built environment. Building elements are subject to change which represents semantic trajectories crossing trajectories of users. These semantic trajectories in dynamics built environment permit to capture fine-grained activities and behaviors of users and objects. The data model is based on ontology and description logics to capture logic constraints on semantic trajectories.
Data interoperability for a Multi-scale model (BIM/CIM/LIM)
2019
Compliance checking for building models, cities and territories involve formalizing a set of model schema knowledge and constraint. The objective of our study is to propose: an information model to federate heterogeneous data sources describing an urban area (building and building environment) along with a method for formally specifying of urban rules. The overall goal we pursue is to be able to query and to verify data against different regulations and/or requirements. The purpose of this article is to describe our approach for interoperability among different data sources (e.g. IFC, CityGML) thus creating a consistent description of an urban area.
Linking BIM and GIS Standard Ontologies with Linked Data
2020
International audience; Following the analysis of existing BIM and GIS standards, formats, differences in the interpretations of the underlying concepts have been identified. Still, in each of the two considered domains several ontologies have been defined for these terms without seeking an alignment among their definitions. With this scope in mind, this article presents several mappings expressed by means of explicit semantic links between GIS concepts (as present in the related ontologies for the ISO 191XX standard family) and BIM concepts (as represented in the IFC standard ISO 16739:2018). Such semantic mappings are defined in order to ensure a knowledge continuum between both domains, …
Semantic Mappings in Description Logics for Spatio-temporal Database Schema Integration
2005
International audience; The interoperability problem arises in heterogeneous systems where different data sources coexist and there is a need for meaningful information sharing. One of the most representive realms of diversity of data representation is the spatio-temporal domain. Spatio-temporal data are most often described according to multiple and greatly diverse perceptions or viewpoints, using different terms and with heterogeneous levels of detail. Reconciling this heterogeneity to build a fully integrated database is known to be a complex and currently unresolved problem, and few formal approaches exist for the integration of spatio-temporal databases. The paper discusses the interope…
Linked data vocabularies for BIM
2019
Given the high interest in the field of BIM (Building Information Modeling) for Linked Data approaches over the last years, the article at hand presents an evaluation of the main Linked Data vocabularies available for the considered domain. First, Semantic Web layer architecture is presented, along with the 4 main principles of Linked Data. Second, each vocabulary is evaluated according to these 4 principles, while 2 additional ones are added in order to assess the licence associated with the vocabulary (open or not, specified or missing). An overall comparison among the considered vocabularies is also provided, thus helping in choosing which vocabulary to use in future Linked Data applicat…
Spatial Rules through Spatial Rule built-ins in SWRL
2010
International audience; The paper presents a method to include spatial rule within rule languages like SWRL to infer spatial rules within semantic web framework. The concept presented here could benefit both geospatial community as they benefit using the adjusted knowledge base to infer spatial rule and semantic web community as the inclusion of spatial data in its framework
Semantics knowledge management for the 3D architectural reconstruction of building objects
2010
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…
ACTIVE3D: SEMANTIC AND MULTIMEDIA MERGING FOR FACILITY MANAGEMENT
2010
International audience; This paper presents a Semantic Web approach for facility management. This Web-based platform lets geographically dispersed project participants--from facility managers and architects to electricians to plumbers--directly use and exchange project documents in a centralized virtual environment using a simple Web browser. A 3D visualization lets participants move around in the building being designed and obtain information about the objects that compose it. This approach is based on a semantic model called CDMF and IFC 2x3. CDMF improves data management during the lifecycle of a building. Based on graph combinations and the contextual element SystemGraph, our propositio…
The spatio-temporal semantics from a perdurantism perspective
2013
International audience; In this paper we present the "continuum model". Our work follows a "perdurantism" approach and is designed to handle dynamic phenomena extending the 4D-fluent with the use of semantic web technologies. In our approach we represent dynamic entities as constituted by time slices each with semantic, geometric and temporal components. Our model is able to link the diverse representations of an entity and allows the inference of qualitative information from quantitative one. The inference results are later added to the ontology in order to enhance the knowledge base. The model has been implemented using OWL and SWRL. Our preliminary results are promising and we plan to fu…
