Connecting Object Data in Natural Stone Renovation Projects

Abstract: Industry experts working on renovation projects rely on a wide range of information. Standards to connect this information are lacking, as well as tools to communicate the data with the industry expert. This study researches the application of semantic web technologies to connect heterogeneous data in renovation projects. Based on this connected data, we present a web-based linked building data viewer through which practitioners can ask relevant questions about a project. Close collaboration with industry experts led to time improvements and a positive attitude towards data-driven support systems.
