LDAC2016 - 4th Linked Data in Architecture and Construction Workshop
(21 and 22 June 2016)

The LDAC workshop series provides a focused overview on technical and applied research on the usage of semantic web, linked data and web of data technologies for architecture and construction (design, engineering, construction, operation, etc.). It aims at bringing together researchers, industry stakeholders, and standardization bodies of the Linked Building Data (LBD) community together. The aim of the workshop is to present current developments, coordinate efforts, gather stakeholders, use cases and plan future activities.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

The topic of the 2016 event is how to use the semantic web technologies for building information management in diverse practical use cases. These use cases can deploy a number of concepts and approaches around the use of semantics in Building Information Modelling, including, but not limited to:

  • linking building data to product data, GIS data and sensor data
  • Building Information Models (BIM)
  • Web of Building Data
  • use cases and applications
  • decentralised publication of models
  • interoperability
  • model harmonization
  • loosely coupled interoperation
  • information exchange
  • ontology and instance mapping
  • building data localization
  • semantic web services
  • reasoning
  • semantic query systems and approaches
  • visualization frameworks
  • open data publication

The LDAC 2016 event provides an opportunity to present and openly discuss these use cases.
