Construction Terminology Dictionary and Language Independent Definitions

Inhan Kim Kyung-Hee University, Korea

2nd August 2007

Background-East Asian Countries, especially China, Japan ,Korea and Singapore, commonly use Chinese Characters and mutually understandable-e-Commerce and e-Business in construction IT is expanding in east Asia

-Needs for consistent translation of English terminology

-Requires stable terminology mapping among East Asian Countries -Needs standardized terminology dictionary for e-Commerce in East Asia

-Construction/Building Codes and regulations

-E-submission, Code checking

-Object oriented classification system-Structured documents with tagged intelligent objects is demanding

-Link Product Information Model and Catalogue data

-A task force team has been set-up and preparing a formal international project team.

Purpose-Establish Standardized Terminology Dictionary with language mapping for Construction IT e-Commerce in Asia

-Populate Construction IT e-Commerce in AsiaE-submissionCode checkingXML based schemaDigital building codeClassification systemE-cataloguesReference data librariesProduct Information Model

ISSUES-In what level the construction IT terminology list should be made (taxonomy, specification, modeling)?

-Establish each countries’ terminology list with corresponding English terminology -Combine each countries’ terminology lists into a single set-define level and aspects of terminologies (taxonomy, specification, modeling)

-How to execute a formal international project among China, Japan and Korea (Supported by each country’s National Science Foundation???)

-Find applicable projects(automated code checking, classification system, e-catalogue…) to carry in parallel with this project.

Simple example of creating tagged code. Can Nick provide a little more detail in the notes on what the glossary is and what it does and what the checking, executable and tables outputs are (my assumption is that they are the IF/THENS generated from the processor, the check list, the mini code, etc.).

Level and Aspect of a Terminology List

Background-East Asian Countries, especially China, Japan ,Korea and Singapore, commonly use Chinese Characters and mutually understandable

-e-Commerce and e-Business in construction IT is expanding in east Asia

-Needs for consistent translation of English terminology

-Requires stable terminology mapping among East Asian Countries

-Needs standardized terminology dictionary for e-Commerce in East Asia

-Construction/Building Codes and regulations

-E-submission, Code checking

-Object oriented classification system-Structured documents with tagged intelligent objects is demanding

-Link Product Information Model and Catalogue data

Benefits

-Keep same semantics with corresponding words to minimize misunderstanding

-Establish terminology Standard for e-Commerce

-Have Language neutral definitions

-Populate each country to establish national construction IT terminology standards

-Establish collaborative basis among Asian countries in Construction IT area

-Be applicable to Future Digital Construction/building projects, such as classification system, codes and regulations

Language Neutralone object can have several names in the same language

beam도리

빔

들보truss

pumppump

activity/process to pump something

physical object a mounted pump in a plant

function a pump in a functional description

one name can refer to several objects


Need to describe objects from what they are, independent of use and time, and not from what they are named or classified as.

Why Terminology Mapping?

The Building & Construction Industry perspective,(Globalization):

Now:

Has its own language concepts

Has its own Standards

Operates locally

Should:

Act as Global Player

Interoperable with International Standards

Operate across national boundaries


What Industry Needs

-Open communication for various construction information-Agreement needed on their own terminology, code, document definitions-Require a ‘flexible’ structure – that also supports intelligent tagging information-To be able to connect product data information with intelligent linking-Inexpensive and easy to use

Expected Work Plan-Level 1:

Start with Construction IT related terminologies

-Level 2:

-Expand to general construction terminologies

-Level 3:

-Expand terminology list to language neutral dictionary(to be used with system such as object oriented classification system and structured documents)

Outline

Paper based codes increasingly present problems:

cannot easily respond to changes in technology and legislation

paper based distribution means not everyone is up to date

codes are often inconsistent (may contradict)

expensive to maintain, publish and distribute

Electronic versions have the same problems

they can help with issues of distribution

they do not address fundamental issues about the codes themselves

The future of building codes:

structured documents with tagged intelligent objects (supply side)

submission of plans for automated checking (demand side)

IFC is critical in making this happen

where it is happening

what are the benefits

21

United States

Over 44,000 jurisdictions

$1.1 trillion domestic building construction industry.

Real estate and construction industry represent: 20% of the Gross Domestic Product and …over 70% of national wealth.

International Code Council

Business plan to develop enhanced codes that will support IFC compliant code checking

Advanced IT Applications: Automated Building Regulations (16/09/2005)• A fully automated building review and approval process is an achievable vision

that will depend primarily on the “interoperability” of all building-related plans, drawings, specifications, manufacturer’s data, etc. and the building regulatory criteria governing buildings.

• A business opportunity exists for ICC to develop, market and support products and services focused on making automated building review and approval vision a reality; something already underway in Singapore and Norway.

Code Preparation and Access

プレゼンター


I think this actually covers or maybe duplicates what is in slide 12 above. If so can we maybe put the boxes in one of three larger colored and open boxes. To show the author, submit and view areas that each of the boxes above fit into? This would eliminate slide 12 above and provide some continuity as we use this again for the by-hand example and we may want to use again and highlight those portions related to the automated BIM example.

23

Passing and Failing

A regulation is passed when every check is shown to be either met or not relevant. However there may be situations where approval is needed or waivers sought, or information is not yet available.

MetNot relevantFailedApproval neededWaiver neededInsufficient information

Pass = R or not A or E

Fail = not R and A and not E

Users are prompted to identify simple building components

A set of related other materials is provided to the user to include in the SMARTcode if they find it helpful. Materials are available online and the user can click to see a preview.

A preview of code sections that will be provided base on which components are selected.

プレゼンター


Emphasize the powerful breadth of materials that could be provided based on inputs. In this example only three are shown for mass walls but it could be on the order or 20+. The user interface gives the designer an opportunity to quickly include or ignore any of the material discovered and also preview the information. A preview of the “SMARTcode” that is being generated is also shown.
