Sustainable Construction Ontology Development Using Information Retrieval Techniques
The paper describes the "SCrIPt" methodology used to develop a sustainable construction domain ontology, taking into account the wealth of existing semantic resources in the construction sector. The latter range from construction taxonomies (e.g. IFCs) to energy calculation tools' internal data structures (i.e. conceptual database schema). The paper argues that taxonomies provide an ideal backbone for any ontology project. Equally, textual documents have an important role in sharing and conveying knowledge and understanding. Therefore, a construction industry standard taxonomy is used to provide the seeds of the ontology, enriched and expanded with additional concepts extracted from large construction sustainability and energy oriented document bases using information retrieval (tf-idf and Metric Clusters) techniques. The SCrIPt ontology will be used as the semantic engine for a Sustainability Construction Platform, commissioned by the Welsh Assembly Government in the UK.
