“…Current approaches involve the introduction of COBie standard, which identifies the required maintenance information that needs to be collected through design and construction phases and enables stakeholders to capture maintenance information in BIM in a structured way (East et al, 2013;Volk et al, 2014). Also other IFC based platforms were developed for information management through the LC of a facility (Vanlande et al, 2008;Pittet et al, 2014). Although COBie defines the fundamental data requirements, it is static and needs to be extended by the practitioners based on project's specific needs in the FM phase.…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a strategic overview of the current literature on “Building information modelling (BIM) for Building Refurbishment and Maintenance” to unfold the factors behind the relative underdeveloped state of the field and to contribute to the development of a more cumulative knowledge base by presenting the current status and suggesting future directions for research. Design/methodology/approach – A systematic review of the literature has been undertaken by classifying and mapping the literature, identifying the input-output relations, exhibiting the areas focused on by researchers as well as neglected ones and by indicating the trends in research through the years. Both qualitative and quantitative analysis is used in the study to better interpret the existing studies in a holistic perspective. Findings – Although the need for BIM in facility management (FM) has been acknowledged by researchers and practitioners, the results highlight that studies related to BIM applications in maintenance and especially refurbishment are relatively recent. However, the trend in published articles shows that the interest is continuously growing. Existing research in this field can be clustered in the following subtopics: (1) building survey and as-built BIM, (2) modelling and managing energy, (3) design assessment, (4) access to and integration of maintenance information and knowledge, and (5) information exchange and interoperability. Originality/value – The paper identifies the gaps in the research domain that hinders a widespread adoption of BIM in refurbishment and maintenance stages and introduces roadmaps to surmount the challenges identified in each specific subtopic of the field.

“…While it has been an objective in research to create methodologies to keep track of the evolution of ontologies in general, these approaches (e.g. Pittet et al (2014)) focus on the ontology's schema level (TBox) and can therefore not directly be applied to instance level (ABox). Within the W3C Linked Building Data Community Group (W3C LBD CG)3, efforts have been made to allow version control of properties.…”

Sharing building information over the Web is becoming more popular, leading to advances in describing building models in a Semantic Web context. However, those descriptions lack unified approaches for linking geometry descriptions to building elements, derived properties and derived other geometry descriptions. To bridge this gap, we analyse the basic characteristics of geometric dependencies and propose the Ontology for Managing Geometry (OMG) based on this analysis. In this paper, we present our results and show how the OMG provides means to link geometric and non-geometric data in meaningful ways. Thus, exchanging building data, including geometry, on the Web becomes more efficient.

“…It fixes ontology inconsistency in a posteriori way. Pittet et al (2014) designed OntoVersionGraph that enables the change management for multicontext and user-centred systems. They joined the OWL DL ontology evolution with the versioning process in one methodology.…”

“…In the literature, three main storage strategies can be distinguished to manage ontology versions (Fernández, Polleres, & Fern, ). Independent copies (IC) approach (Heflin & Hendler, ; Klein, Fensel, Kiryakov, & Ognyanov, ; Kondylakis & Plexousakis, ; Pittet, Cruz, & Nicolle, ; Sassi, Jaziri, & Alharbi, ; Völkel & Groza, ) is a naïve storage strategy as it consists in just storing complete ontology versions in separate OWL or XML files (see Figure ). This policy offers complete and separate views of the domain states across different time periods.…”

Efficient management and storage of a multiversion OWL 2 DL domain ontology

Ontology is the chief technology to model domain knowledge and fix its heterogeneity. Knowledge evolution is unavoidable in all fields, and ontology should reflect such an evolution while preserving its consistency. The access to an ontology evolution history is also a crucial need. Thereby, ontology versions should be stored efficiently. To address these requirements, some works focused only on managing ontology inconsistency. To this end, they adopted an a posteriori approach that checks inconsistency after its occurrence. Others have mainly focused on some ontology versioning aspects other than the storage and the consistency preservation issues. Specifically, the state of the art storage strategies perform well some typical queries at the cost of a high storage space. Strategies with low space overhead lose the main specificity of ontology: the knowledge semantics modelling. So, it is useful to address all these shortcomings. This paper presents an approach that allows generating consistent OWL 2 DL ontology versions in a priori way. It also proposes an efficient storage strategy that preserves the semantics aspect of ontology and performs well typical queries with a low storage space. A protégé plug‐in is developed to show the feasibility of the main ideas presented in this paper.
