Abstract:

Ensuring a balance between information supply and information demand among all stakeholders at each project stage is crucial for harnessing the full potential of building information modeling technology in project life cycle management. While many standards have been established at national, local, and corporate levels to standardize delivery requirements, there remains a lack of efficient model integrity checking approach to facilitate participants to deliver project information in a timely and effective manner. Currently, the conventional means of checking model information for each stage of delivery was manual and machine hard-coded. However, they suffered from high labor costs, missed judgments, and limited flexibility for updates. Considering the technical advantages and applications of the semantic web concept and related technologies in knowledge organization and management, and combining the results of existing digital delivery standards for power grid engineering, a semantic web-based BIM model integrity checking approach was proposed. It was composed of three parts: 1) establishing integrity checking ontology and model to-be-checked ontology using SKOS; 2) instantiating knowledge in the delivery standard and actual model information to the knowledge graph; 3) correlating the two through specific relationships and automating integrity checking on this basis through SPARQL. Finally, the validity of this method was demonstrated through case studies, showcasing its applicability in engineering project delivery integrity checking in other fields.
