- Description
- OWL representation of the buildingSMART data model. The IFC data model is written in an EXPRESS schema (IFC2x3). This ontology is the result of an automated transformation of this EXPRESS schema into an OWL-DL ontology.
- Languages
- English
- Ontology languages
- OWL
- Ontology format
- RDF/XML

Evaluation results
The following evaluation results have been generated by the RESTFul web service provided by OOPS! (OntOlogy Pitfall Scanner!).
It is obvious that not all the pitfalls are equally important; their impact in the ontology will depend on multiple factors. For this reason, each pitfall has an importance level attached indicating how important it is. We have identified three levels:
- Critical
- It is crucial to correct the pitfall. Otherwise, it could affect the ontology consistency, reasoning, applicability, etc.
- Important
- Though not critical for ontology function, it is important to correct this type of pitfall.
- Minor
- It is not really a problem, but by correcting it we will make the ontology nicer.
It is crucial you solve this if you want to contribute to the Semantic Web. You can follow the guidelines at LinkToDiegoRecipes to publish your ontology. If your ontology is correctly published and we have made an error detecting this pitfall please let us know and we will solve it a.s.a.p.
*This pitfall applies to the ontology in general instead of specific elements
