A Semantic Approach to Representation, Sharing, and Discovery of Construction Simulation Models
Publication: Construction Research Congress 2012: Construction Challenges in a Flat World
Abstract
Simulation models are knowledge intense computational entities. Simulation model development consumes lots of time and resources. The research described in this paper is motivated by necessity of reuse, composability and interoperability of the construction simulation models. The innovate architecture presented in this paper blends semantic web technologies and construction simulation models presented in a machine interpretable metadata for storing, sharing and discovery of knowledge within construction simulation models and properly linking them to their related information sources. For this purpose a repository of construction simulation models has been developed. Construction modeling repository mainly contains simulation templates and models and other relevant sources. Sharing and integration of these simulation componets enables inference and extraction of meaningful information through structuring queries.
