In the past, knowledge in the fields of Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industries mainly come from experiences and are documented in hard copies or specific electronic databases. In order to make use of this knowledge, a lot of studies have focused on retrieving and storing this knowledge in a systematic and accessible way. The Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology proves to be a valuable media in extracting data because it provides physical and functional digital models for all the facilities within the life-cycle of the project. Therefore, the combination of the knowledge science with BIM shows great potential in constructing the knowledge map in the field of the AEC industry. Based on literature reviews, this article summarizes the latest achievements in the fields of knowledge science and BIM, in the aspects of (1) knowledge description, (2) knowledge discovery, (3) knowledge storage and management, (4) knowledge inference and (5) knowledge application, to show the state-of-arts and suggests the future directions in the application of knowledge science and BIM technology in the fields of AEC industries. The review indicates that BIM is capable of providing information for knowledge extraction and discovery, by adopting semantic network, knowledge graph and some other related methods. It also illustrates that the knowledge is helpful in the design, construction, operation and maintenance periods of the AEC industry, but now it is only at the beginning stage.

过去，建筑，工程和建筑（AEC）行业领域的知识主要来自经验，并以纸质版或特定的电子数据库进行记录。为了利用该知识，许多研究集中于以系统且可访问的方式检索和存储该知识。建筑信息模型（BIM）技术被证明是提取数据的宝贵媒介，因为它为项目生命周期内的所有设施提供了物理和功能数字模型。因此，知识科学与BIM的结合在构建AEC行业领域的知识图谱方面显示出巨大的潜力。根据文献综述，本文总结了知识科学和BIM领域的最新成果，在（1）知识描述，（2）知识发现，（3）知识存储和管理，（4）知识推理和（5）知识应用方面，以展示最新技术并提出未来的发展方向知识科学和BIM技术在AEC行业领域的应用。审查表明，BIM能够通过采用语义网络，知识图和其他一些相关方法，为知识的提取和发现提供信息。它也说明了该知识在AEC行业的设计，建造，运营和维护期间很有帮助，但现在还只是处于起步阶段。展示最新技术，并提出在AEC行业领域中知识科学和BIM技术应用的未来方向。审查表明，BIM能够通过采用语义网络，知识图和其他一些相关方法，为知识的提取和发现提供信息。它也说明了该知识在AEC行业的设计，建造，运营和维护期间很有帮助，但现在还只是处于起步阶段。展示最新技术，并提出在AEC行业领域中知识科学和BIM技术应用的未来方向。审查表明，BIM能够通过采用语义网络，知识图和其他一些相关方法，为知识的提取和发现提供信息。它也说明了该知识在AEC行业的设计，建造，运营和维护期间很有帮助，但现在还只是处于起步阶段。
