semantics the meaning of words, phrases or systems ontology a list of concepts and categories in a subject area that shows the relationships between them taxonomy the scientific process of classifying things (= arranging them into groups) [Source: Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary, 8th edition]

The background

Danish Building Classification (DBK) from 2006 Not fully adapted and huge debate RESTART EU, Danish Government and Private founding -> cuneco cuneco project running from 2011 – 2015 Central development and open commenting procedure Valuable input from stakeholders We are in the implementing phase – and CCS works!

some benefits… o a lifecycle stable code

o all objects can be pre-coded

o simple coding – easy for humans to recognise

o object oriented and suitable for IT
