Ontological Method for the Modeling and Management of Building Component Construction Process Information

Knowledge of the construction process plays a decisive role in guiding construction and thus affects the quality of buildings. However, the integration and relevance of information in the traditional process file are poor, and it is easy to ignore the process changes caused by the differences when applying information directly. Therefore, this paper introduces an ontological method for the information modeling and management of the construction process. The proposed method uses machine readable language to integrate process knowledge in a structured way, thereby improving the relevance of information and promoting the reuse, sharing and retrieval of knowledge. At the same time, the semantic web rule language (SWRL) rules are used to model the relevant laws and regulations with reference to the construction product quality acceptance regulations and to correlate the construction process information so as to ensure the compliance of building products and the accuracy of process information. Finally, the feasibility of the method is verified via specific use cases on an ontology implementation platform.
