Using rules for assessing and improving data quality: A case study for the Norwegian State of Estate report

Abstract

Regulatory compliance check in the building industry is a complex
task that involves cross-domain national and international standards and regulations.
This paper introduces a refined approach to extract SWRL rules from
building accessibility regulatory texts and then to transform them into executable
rules for semi-automatic compliance checking of Building Information
Models. The domain ontology model is a key input to the approach and is enriched
by new knowledge extracted from the regulatory text. This semantic
technology enhanced rule extraction approach standardized the rule extraction
process by covering the whole lifecycle from regulatory text to executable
rules. It is based on the open standards and applies open source tools and thereby
portable and extendable. It conforms to the open BIM principle to support
knowledge sharing cross domains and disciplines. The approach is also adaptable
to other types of regulatory rules in the building industry.
