Even with the increasing integration of model-based systems with project information spaces, a large percentage of the information exchange will further on rely on isolated and rather poorly structured text documents. In this paper we propose an approach enabling the use of product model data as a primary source of engineering knowledge to support information externalisation from relevant construction documents, to provide for domain-specific information retrieval, and to help in re-organising and re-contextualising documents in accordance to the user's discipline-specific tasks and information needs. Suggested is a retrieval and mining framework combining methods for analysing text documents, filtering product models and reasoning on Bayesian networks to explicitly represent the content of text repositories in personalisable semantic content networks. We describe the proposed basic network that can be realised on short-term using minimal product model information as well as various extensions towards a full-fledged added value integration of document-based and model-based information.}, subject = {Bauwerk}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AlDiabHenryBoulemia2003, author = {Al Diab, Ali and Henry, Eric and Boulemia, Cherif}, title = {A concerted and multi-criterion approach for helping to choose a Structure- Foundation system of building}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.273}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-2732}, year = {2003}, abstract = {The research of the best building design requires a concerted design approach of both structure and foundation. Our work is an application of this approach. Our objective is also to create an interactive tool, which will be able to define, at the early design stages, the orientations of structure and foundation systems that satisfy as well as possible the client and the architect. If the concerns of these two actors are primarily technical and economical, they also wish to apprehend the environmental and social dimensions of their projects. Thus, this approach bases on alternative studies and on a multi-criterion analysis. In this paper, we present the context of our work, the problem formulation, which allows a concerted design of Structure and Foundation systems and the feasible solutions identifying process.}, subject = {Bauwerk}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{O'BrienDansoAmoakoIssa2004, author = {O'Brien, William and Danso-Amoako, Mark and Issa, Raja}, title = {A Case Study of IFC and CIS/2 Support for Steel Supply Chain Processes}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.119}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-1195}, year = {2004}, abstract = {The evolution of data exchange and integration standards within the Architectural, Engineering and Construction industry is gradually making the long-held vision of computer-integratedconstruction a reality. The Industry Foundations Classes and CIMSteel Integration Standards are two such standards that have seen remarkable successes over the past few years. Despite successes, these standards support the exchange of product data more than they do process data, especially those processes that are loosely coupled with product models. This paper reports on on-going research to evaluate the adequacy of the IFC and CIS/2 standards to support process modeling in the steel supply chain. Some initial recommendations are made regarding enhancements to the data standards to better support processes.}, subject = {Bauwerk}, language = {en} }
