Implementing Automated Methods for Document Classification in Construction Management Information Systems
The widespread use of information technologies for construction is considerably increasing the number of electronic documents stored in inter-organizational construction management information systems. Since a large percentage of these project documents is generated in text format, methods for organizing and improving the access to the information contained in these types of documents becomes essential to construction information management. Document management techniques have been used for this purpose. One limitation of the document management aspects in current information systems is the reliance on manual classification methods. With the widespread use of information technologies for construction, the increasing availability of electronic documents, and the development of systems based on project object models, manual classification and organization becomes unfeasible. This paper describes a methodology to improve information organization and access in inter-organizational systems based on automated classification of construction project documents according to their related project components.
