Actors in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Owner and Operation (AECOO) industry traditionally exchange building models as files. The Building Information Modelling (BIM) methodology advocates the seamless exchange of all information between related stakeholders using digital technologies. The ultimate evolution of the methodology, BIM Maturity Level 3, envisions interoperable, distributed, web-based, interdisciplinary information exchange among stakeholders across the life-cycle of buildings. The World Wide Web Consortium Linked Building Data Community Group (W3C LBD-CG) hypothesises that the Linked Data models and best practices can be leveraged to achieve this vision in modern web-based applications. In this paper, we introduce the Building Topology Ontology (BOT) as a core vocabulary to this approach. It provides a high-level description of the topology of buildings including storeys and spaces, the building elements they contain, and their web-friendly 3D models. We describe how existing applications produce and consume datasets combining BOT with other ontologies that describe product catalogues, sensor observations, or Internet of Things (IoT) devices effectively implementing BIM Maturity Level 3. We evaluate our approach by exporting and querying three real-life large building models.

BOT：W3C链接的建筑数据组的建筑拓扑本体

传统上，建筑，工程，建筑，所有者和运营（AECOO）行业的参与者将建筑模型作为文件交换。建筑信息模型（BIM）方法论主张使用数字技术在相关利益相关者之间无缝交换所有信息。该方法的最终发展是BIM成熟度级别3，它设想了在建筑物的整个生命周期中，利益相关者之间可以互操作，分布式，基于Web的跨学科信息交换。万维网联盟链接建筑数据社区组（W3C LBD-CG）假设，可以利用链接数据模型和最佳实践在现代基于Web的应用程序中实现这一愿景。在本文中，我们介绍了建筑拓扑本体（BOT）作为该方法的核心词汇。它提供了有关建筑物拓扑的高级描述，包括楼层和空间，建筑物所包含的建筑物元素以及网络友好的3D模型。我们将描述现有应用程序如何结合BOT和其他本体来生产和使用数据集，这些本体描述了有效实施BIM成熟度级别3的产品目录，传感器观测结果或物联网（IoT）设备。建筑模型。
