Ontology Catalogue

The BDTA Ontology Catalogue platform aims to ensure building digital twin ontologies can be shared, explored, accessed and used. This catalogue serves as a central hub for discovering ontologies relevant to the building digital twin domain, helping to improve collaboration, reuse and exchange of knowledge across the domain and industry. See the About page for more information.

OMG: Ontology for Managing GeometryThe Ontology for Managing Geometry (OMG) is an ontology for attaching geometry descriptions to their corresponding things (e.g. building objects). The OMG is designed to provide three levels of adding the geometry descriptions which can be used and combined flexibly. The levels are designed to en...
ifcOWL ontology (IFC4x1)This ifcOWL ontology is automatically generated from the EXPRESS schema 'IFC4x1' using the 'EXPRESS-to-OWL' converter developed by Pieter Pauwels (pipauwel.pauwels@ugent.be), based on the earlier versions from Jyrki Oraskari (jyrki.oraskari@aalto.fi) and Davy Van Deursen (davy.vandeursen@ugent.be...Commissioning OptimizationConstruction OptimizationDesign Optimization
DTC: Digital Twin Construction OntologyThe Digital Twin Construction Ontology enables representing the most important concepts that are relevant for a digital twin of a construction site. It explicitly defines the project intent and project status. While the project intent describes the project aim in the form of, e.g., the constructi...Commissioning OptimizationConstruction OptimizationDesign Optimization
AEC3PO: Architecture, Engineering, Construction Compliance Checking and Permitting OntologyAEC3PO is designed to model compliance and permitting processes in the construction industry, on DBP. It captures aspects such as building codes, regulations, and standards, making it highly relevant for digital twins in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) sector. Digital tw...
