Abstract
Abstract
Building service systems are complex structures consisting of different subsystems and components in varying relationships.Semantic WebTechnologies(SWT)can be used to represent these systems in decentralized triple stores using ontologies.To describe interconnected building service systems and the flow of matter,energy and data between the mover the wholelife-cycle in the context of the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operation (AECO) industry, two recent contributions,TUBESSystem Ontology(TSO) and FlowSystemOntology(FSO) have to beconsidered.
This study thus supports the effort towards a future semantic web of building data by validating the given ontologies based on Competency Questions(CQs)and anapplication example, proposing an alignmento fTSOv0.3.0 and FSOv0.1.0 and providing a roadmap to a unified representation of buildingservicesystems in the AECO industry.
