Abstract
Modelling actors and roles and mapping their relations have great significance in the construction industry for effective communication. However, the attention and effort in this area is far lagged behind the research of construction product modelling and process modeling. After discussing the philosophical root of understanding actors and roles, this paper proposed an ontological model for major entities involved in construction, and then established criteria of identifying actors and roles. Based on the two taxonomies (for actors and roles) developed in this study, an innovative way of mapping an actor to its possible roles was illustrated.
