摘要: The design and construction community has shown increasing interest in adopting Building Information Models (BIM). While the richness of information offered by BIM is evident, there are still tremendous challenges getting construction-specific out BIM, particularly from IFC-based product models. This paper describes our approach for querying conditions an model. involves: (1) formalization as ontology features, (2) automated generation feature-based models a particular domain function, (3) formal specification that supports user-driven queries allows practitioners to answer broad range user-customizable support different management functions. It also transforms designer-focused into constructionfocused,
