Semantics and Construction with Building Digital Twins (Briefing Room GR)

This workshop will address the use of semantics in the construction sector. It will be led by the Building Digital Twin Association (BDTA), which aims to create an international initiative that promotes an open ecosystem for Building Digital Twin Environments. It develops research, certifications, and assets to drive the sector's development, and is composed of companies and individuals working together to shape the future. Don't miss this chance to connect with experts, share your own experiences, and contribute to the advancement of this transformative technology!

What to expect:

• BDTA's roadmap update: Learn about the progress made on BDTA's roadmap towards enabling interoperability between buildings and their digital representations across the EU.

• Ontologies for digital twins: Discuss the role of ontologies in facilitating effective digital twins, including BDTA's ongoing development of an ontology catalog.

• Experiences from the field: Gain insights from other researchers and software developers working on ontology-based digital twin solutions.

• Sharing knowledge and lessons: Hear firsthand accounts of ontology scoping, reuse strategies, and the practical challenges and successes encountered in developing ontology-driven software.

• Shaping the future: Engage in discussions about the role of semantics in the future of digital twins and their potential contribution to a more sustainable built environment.
