“…In other papers, ontologies are reported to support decisionmaking during the design process, such as in Garcia et al (2004), Pandit and Zhu (2007), Ugwu et al (2005) and Skolick and Kicinger (2002). As the present study focuses on the on-site environmental and health and safety management domain, none of the existing ontologies were found to be useful.…”

An ontology-based approach for on-site integrated environmentalUn enfoque basado en ontología para la gestión integrada del medio ambiente An ontology-based approach for on-site integrated environmental and health and safety management Un enfoque basado en ontología para la gestión integrada del medio ambiente y de la seguridad y la salud en obra Keywords: Ontology, environmental impact, health and safety risk, integrated operational control, integrated management system, building, construction process ResumenEste artículo tiene como objetivo favorecer la implementación de sistemas integrados de gestión ambiental, de seguridad y salud en empresas constructoras, centrándose en el subsistema de control de los impactos ambientales y los riesgos de seguridad y salud en obra. La gran compatibilidad que presentan los requerimientos vinculados al control operacional establecidos en la normas ISO 14001:2004 y OHSAS 18001:2007 así como las interacciones existentes entre impactos ambientales y riesgos de seguridad y salud (Gangolells et al., 2009, Gangolells et al., 2010 han motivado el desarrollo de una ontología que permite construir un modelo integrado para el control operacional en obras de construcción. El enfoque desarrollado está fuertemente influenciado por la metodología de Noy y McGuiness (2001) y modela los conceptos clave y las relaciones del campo de forma estructurada, extensibe, flexible, reutilizable y compartible. Este enfoque basado en ontologías ha sido implementado mediante Protégé 3.4 beta y correctamente evaluado utilizando preguntas de competencia, verificaciones internas y entrevistas de validación con expertos. Este artículo desarrolla el primer enfoque que permite representar, compartir, reutilizar y gestionar el conocimiento relacionado con el control operacional integrado en obra de las incidencias medioambientales, de seguridad y salud y sienta las bases para poder superar la mayoría de las barreras que las empresas constructoras deben afrontar durante el proceso de implementación de un sistema de gestión integrada.Palabras Clave: Ontología, impacto ambiental, riesgo de seguridad y salud, control operacional integrado, sistema integrado de gestión, edificación, proceso constructivo.

“…The contextual dimension encompasses these three dimensions and acts as a mediating force in the overall deployment of the project delivery environment. This conceptual framework distinguishes itself from others, such as the People-Process-Technology framework or the Technology-Organization-Environment framework (Tornatzky, 1990 p.157) based in IS research, the Model-Team-Process approach (Staub-French et al, 2011) developed by DPR construction, the Product-Organization-Process (P-O-P) model (Garcia et al, 2003) developed at Stanford University's Center for Integrated Facility Engineering's (CIFE) or the Technology-Process-Policy (T-P-P) fields developed by Succar (2009), by representing the relationships between the dimensions, introducing context as a modulating factor and relating the interoperability construct along these multiple-dimensions. It also is unique in that it acts as a meta-framework for the characterization of collaborative project delivery systems in the AEC industry.…”

Often cited as a major barrier to the seamless exchange of data and information among project team members evolving in the Architecture and Engineering, Construction (AEC) industry, technological interoperability has been the focus of many ongoing research efforts within the AEC field. In other knowledge fields, such as information systems (IS) and military research, the interoperability construct has evolved beyond the purely technological domain to encompass multiple dimensions. Within the AEC industry, these dimensions of interoperability have yet to take root. This paper introduces a conceptual framework that develops the interoperability construct across multiple dimensions. The framework defines emerging collaborative project delivery systems within the AEC industry by relating the technological, organization and procedural dimensions and situating them within the contextual dimension. The framework is underpinned by an information processing systems approach to project delivery in the AEC industry. Based on a twopart systematic literature review, a rigorous and structured process aimed at answering a very specific and targeted question within a given field, the paper presents the conceptual framework and discusses the various dimensions of interoperability. The paper concludes by presenting opportunities for future research through gaps identified in the literature. It is believed that by adopting this broader view of the interoperability construct in the AEC industry, the deployment of seamless collaborative project delivery systems and emerging technologies and processes, such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) will be better informed and structured and thus more effective and efficient.

“…The modifications and improvements to the design are processed automatically in the cost plans, in the floor plans and elevations of the construction, allowing a significant increment to the quality of the communication and, consequently, to the quality of the final product, the building. Several works (KIVINIEMI, 2005;GARCIA et al, 2003) relate this set of items to the coordinated development of enterprise models. Cheng and Law (2002) propose that a design team simultaneously use software to plan, monitor, organize, estimate costs, and visualize the progress of the…”

This work analyzes the impacts resulting from the implementation of the BIM -Building Information Modelling -technology in architectural design offices, seeking to identify the most relevant aspects of its use on the design process. It also casts a look at the potential spaces and opportunities that rise from the use of the tool. Several international studies have demonstrated the benefits and the changes triggered by the use of the BIM in design concerns, but, as regards the recent Brazilian experience very little is known or has been reported. This way, this work seeks to contribute towards filling this gap, identifying the peculiarities of the Brazilian case, seeking to improve the conditions for the implementation of the new tools and to facilitate the adapting of the technology to Brazilian standards. The research covered the formulation of field studies in architectural design companies located in the city of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Curitiba. Analyses were made of the difficulties found and the main advantages obtained in the adoption of the BIM technology by these offices. The evaluation of the experiences allowed the identification of countless problems in the transition from the present traditional technology to new information systems: high cost of software, resistance to change by the team, lack of integration between designers, amongst others. It is believed that the data generated in this research can contribute to the promotion of improvements and advancements in the BIM technology, propagating its possibilities and facilitating its larger-scale implementation in the country towards the modernization of the processes in the Brazilian civil construction scenario. The results presented lead to the discussion of the role played by the architect in the real estate market and also demonstrated that there is much to reflect upon on the opportunities to be explored with the use of the BIM.
