There is an increasing awareness of formal ontologies in knowledge-intense problem domains in the AEC industry. This paper analyzes the general use of ontologies, points to the importance of context-dependent ontology descriptions in AEC, and describes the use and management of multiple (external) ontologies as knowledge management tools within a complex information model of a building performance assessment tool CLIP (Computational support for Lifecycle Integral Performance assessment), previously developed by the authors. The paper provides a discussion of our approach, analysis of the benefits and limitations of external ontologies, suggestions for further development and research areas for the integration of multiple AEC knowledge representations.

User-guided transformations for ontology based simulation design Özdikiş, Özer; Durak, Umut; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S. (null; 2009-12-01) Using domain knowledge represented as ontologies for the design of domain specific architectures is a promising approach for better reusability. Tool support is essential for this approach to be effective. We present a flexible, user- guided transformation method to generate a framework architecture model from a domain model. The latter is in the form of an OWL ontology, and the former is in the form of a UML class diagram. We introduce a transformation tool that allows the user to configure mappings from t...
Achieving Semantic Interoperability in Emergency Management Domain Gencturk, Mert; Evci, Enver; Guney, Arda; Kabak, Yildiray; Erturkmen, Gokce B. Laleci (2017-05-12) This paper describes how semantic interoperability can be achieved in emergency management domain where different organizations in different domains should communicate through a number of distinct standards to manage crises and disasters effectively. To achieve this goal, a common ontology is defined as lingua franca and standard content models are mapped one by one to the ontology. Then, information represented in one standard is converted to another according to the mappings and exchanged between parties.
Text Classification in the Turkish Marketing Domain for Context Sensitive Ad Distribution Engin, Melih; Can, Tolga (2009-09-16) In this paper, we construct and compare several feature extraction approaches in order to find a better solution for classification of Turkish web documents in the marketing domain. We produce our feature extraction techniques using characteristics of the Turkish language, structures of web documents and online content in the marketing domain. We form datasets in different feature spaces and we apply several Support Vector Machine (SVM) configurations on these datasets. We conduct our study considering the ...
Strategic Group Analysis in the Construction Industry Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2009-04-01) The aim of strategic group analysis is to determine whether clusters of firms that have a similar strategic position exist within an industry or not. Findings of strategic group analysis may further be used to investigate the performance implications of strategic group membership. The objective of this paper is to identify the possible strategic groups that could exist within the Turkish construction industry by using a theoretical framework applicable for the construction industry and alternative statistic...
Network relations and local economic development: some causes of differentiated network structures and intensities among Turkish industrial firms Eraydın, Ayda (2006-06-01) The regional-growth literature emphasises the importance of positive network externalities as determinants of the long-run competitiveness of region, highlighting their role in reducing spatial transaction costs and facilitating collective learning and innovation. In this paper we contribute to this literature by presenting new evidence from a firm-based survey within three Turkish industrial centres about the causes of differentiated network activity. Using multivariate analysis, we show that locational ra...
