| Abstract |
To efficiently operate and maintain a facility, an information management system has to consider the limitations of resources and labors for the facility management (FM) and characteristics of a facility to support various practical maintenance works. However, there are some potential problems to access the required data on the system as following: 1) lacks of usability and accessibility of building information modeling (BIM)-based FM information, 2) decision making process of the maintenance work priority performed by a facility manager with subjective perspective, and 3) the constraint conditions of maintenance works are frequently changed. Therefore, this study proposed an approach of BIM-based priority management for maintenance works using semantic web. To that end, an ontology has developed to link the BIM objects and maintenance work information with facility condition index, and the ontology-based priority management process is suggested. Using the proposed approach, facility managers will be able to increase their efficiency in managing the work priorities considering the BIM objects. This study will contribute to increasing the usability and accessibility of BIM in the FM area, in providing integrated FM information using a semantic web. |
