| Release date | 19/12/2023 |
| Description | AEC3PO 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 twins are virtual representations of physical assets, processes, or systems that are used to simulate, predict, and optimize performance. For digital twins in the construction industry, having a robust ontology like AEC3PO helps in several ways: Compliance and Permitting: AEC3PO provides a structured way to represent compliance and permitting rules, which can be integrated into digital twins to ensure that virtual models adhere to real-world regulations. Interoperability: By using standard semantic web technologies (RDF, OWL, SKOS), AEC3PO ensures that data can be easily shared and understood across different systems and platforms, which is crucial for the interoperability of digital twins. Automation: The ontology supports automated compliance checking, which can be embedded into digital twin systems to automatically verify that designs and operations meet regulatory requirements. Enhanced Decision-Making: With detailed compliance and permitting information integrated into digital twins, stakeholders can make more informed decisions throughout the lifecycle of a building, from design to demolition. In summary, AEC3PO enhances the functionality of digital twins by embedding regulatory compliance, facilitating interoperability, and enabling automation in the AEC industry. |
