Digital Heritage International Congress - 2013TRANSCRIPT
Integrating building information modelling and semantic web technologies for the management of
built heritage information
Pieter Pauwels - University of Amsterdam
Danilo Di Mascio - G. d’Annunzio University Pescara
Rens Bod - University of Amsterdam
Ronald De Meyer - Ghent University
AIMS OF THE PROJECT
Ghent University Library, Book Tower, Ghent, Belgium
Documenting the built heritage AIMS: - Communicate cultural values and
construction aspects of a building - Manage, maintain and preserve
built heritage artefacts
Book Tower in Building Information Modelling (BIM) application (Autodesk Revit Architecture)
Book Tower in ontology editor (Topbraid Composer)

Conclusions
1. Built heritage information can be modelled using BIM applications and semantic web technologies
2. BIM information can be integrated with other heritage information in the Linked Open Data cloud
3. Link resources / models with order and care
