Download or read book Semantic Information Modeling in Formalized Languages written by Andries van Renssen and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-10-16 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Semantic modeling in a formalized language provides a route towards the benefits of universal data exchange, data integration and interoperability of systems. Its application will also reduce the need for and cost of data conversions. Using a formal language enables expressing information and knowledge, including also possibilities, requirements and definitions in a system independent, unambiguous, human as well as computer interpretable way. The book describes Formal English and other members of the Gellish family of formalized languages. It also describes their formal taxonomic dictionaries and gives guidance on creating how high quality information models that can be read by any computer application that can interpret and operate on expressions in the formal language. The book also describes a Gellish expression format and syntax for storing and exchanging information and thus provides a method for the creation of universal semantic databases and for data communication in a common language.

Download or read book Taxonomic Dictionary of Relations written by Andries van Renssen and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-12-22 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a taxonomic dictionary, which means that the defined concepts are arranged in a strict subtype-supertype hierarchy, also called a taxonomy. The dictionary defines kinds of relations that are usually not found in conventional dictionaries. A number of the kinds of relations are also defined in various ISO and non-ISO standards. Kinds of relations are widely used in information modeling and database design and for making expressions in formal languages as well as in RDF or OWL based data exchange messages and triple stores. This dictionary is a basic section of a much larger electronic ontological dictionary that defines the Gellish family of formalized languages, especially Formal English. Formal languages are meant for storing, searching and finding information by expressing and exchanging queries and information in a computer interpretable and system independent way.

Download or read book Building Information Modeling written by Nawari O. Nawari and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-02-12 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Many researchers and software developers have put a lot of effort into finding solutions for automated code checking. This book is a good summary of these efforts and provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of the status of such technologies in the industry. It also guides readers on implementation of such techniques using the platforms and tools currently available in the industry." — Issa Ramaji, University of North Florida, USA Building Information Modeling: Automated Code Checking and Compliance Processes covers current and emerging trends in automating the processes of examining building design against codes and standards of practice. The role of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technologies in these processes is thoroughly analyzed and explains how this new technology is significantly transforming modern architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) domains. The book also introduces the theoretical background of computerizing compliance verification, including domain knowledge representations, building model representations, and automated code checking systems. An underlying goal for the material covered is to present the use of BIM technology as an integral part of the automated auditing process that can lead to a more comprehensive, intelligent, and integrated building design– a design where an optimized solution can be achieved in harmony with the current codes and standards of practice. This new proposed BIM-based framework for automating code conformance checking is one of the most powerful methods presently available to reflect actual building code requirements, and the methods described in the book offer significant benefits to the AEC industry such as:​ Providing consistency in interpretation of regulatory provisions Reducing code compliance validation errors, and the cost and time associated with compliance checking Allows for the ability to self-check required aspects before bidding Reduces the amount of time and resources required during design review Allows for optimal design, along with faster turnaround on feedback, and potentially faster approvals for construction permits by building and infrastructure authorities

Download or read book Bio Inspired Models for Natural and Formal Languages written by Gemma Bel-Enguix and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2011-01-18 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a collection of papers written by several researchers that have in common the use of bio-inspired models to approach formal and natural languages. The main goal of the volume is to promote interdisciplinarity among linguistics, biology and computation. The area of convergence between these three disciplines is giving rise to the emergence of new scientific paradigms that will have an epistemological, social and cultural impact. The book is organized around three thematic areas. Every area relates two of the three main topics: language, computation and biology. This volume stands out from existing publications because of its interdisciplinary nature. There has been a long tradition of interchanging methods among the aforementioned three disciplines, but it is difficult to find a single volume where this interchange of methods is shown. The volume includes chapters that clearly illustrate these interdisciplinary approaches and their benefits. This book will be of value to specialists who work in linguistics, biology or computation, and have interest in using methods from other disciplines that can provide new ideas, new tools and new formalisms to approach their problems, and that can help in the improvement of their theories and models.

The work presents in survey articles the efforts to study foundations and applications of conceptual modelling in various environments. The motivation of these efforts is the fact that conceptual modelling and knowledge representation together with various kinds of inference systems are important subfields in the design and use of information systems. The modelling problem is essential in many disciplines, such as database design, knowledge engineering, logic, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, philosophy, linguistics, etc. A central and comprehensive bibliography is included.

Download or read book Future Proof Software Systems written by Frank J. Furrer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-09-25 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on software architecture and the value of architecture in the development of long-lived, mission-critical, trustworthy software-systems. The author introduces and demonstrates the powerful strategy of “Managed Evolution,” along with the engineering best practice known as “Principle-based Architecting.” The book examines in detail architecture principles for e.g., Business Value, Changeability, Resilience, and Dependability. The author argues that the software development community has a strong responsibility to produce and operate useful, dependable, and trustworthy software. Software should at the same time provide business value and guarantee many quality-of-service properties, including security, safety, performance, and integrity. As Dr. Furrer states, “Producing dependable software is a balancing act between investing in the implementation of business functionality and investing in the quality-of-service properties of the software-systems.” The book presents extensive coverage of such concepts as: Principle-Based Architecting Managed Evolution Strategy The Future Principles for Business Value Legacy Software Modernization/Migration Architecture Principles for Changeability Architecture Principles for Resilience Architecture Principles for Dependability The text is supplemented with numerous figures, tables, examples and illustrative quotations. Future-Proof Software-Systems provides a set of good engineering practices, devised for integration into most software development processes dedicated to the creation of software-systems that incorporate Managed Evolution.

Download or read book Building Information Modeling written by Régine Teulier and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-12-22 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents how Building Information Modeling (BIM) and the use of shared representation of built assets facilitate design, construction and operation processes (ISO 19650). The modeling of public works data disrupts the art of construction. Written by both academics and engineers who are heavily involved in the French research project Modélisation des INformations INteropérables pour les INfrastructues Durables (MINnD) as well as in international standardization projects, this book presents the challenges of BIM from theoretical and practical perspectives. It provides knowledge for evolving in an ecosystem of federated models and common data environments, which are the basis of the platforms and data spaces. BIM makes it possible to handle interoperability very concretely, using open standards, which lead to openBIM. The use of a platform allows for the merging of business software and for approaches such as a Geographic Information System (GIS) to be added to the processes. In organizations, BIM meets the life cycles of structures and circular economy. It is not only a technique that reshapes cooperation and trades around a digital twin but can also disrupt organizations and business models.
