Abstract

Combining conventional Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools and Linked Data technologies improves the options to connect building models to external datasets. Existing workflows in this regard expect a conventional BIM model - including object’s geometry - as a starting point. This paper presents a novel, alternative workflow oriented towards existing buildings, including an initial implementation. Modeling the building topology using the BOT ontology is done first, allowing a Linked Data modeler to enrich this initial graph from the start of a project without being dependent on a BIM with (detailed) geometry. Later, a conventional BIM - including objects’ geometry - of the existing building can be made, starting from the shared building topology. At the end of this more flexible workflow, both the initial RDF graph and the BIM-based RDF graph are directly connected to each other, combining both datasets.
