The application of the Building Information Modelling (BIM) process to Built Heritage (HBIM) is a growing practice in processes and activities aimed at the investigation, documentation, and conservation of architectural heritage. However, it still raises some questions, such as the compatibility between the formalisation of information in the BIM model; and what limitations are inherent in current software implementations to establish a connection with external resources. On this basis, this paper aims at reviewing which methods are currently experimented to improve the level of semantic enrichment and to extend the knowledge representation domain offered today by the most common BIM authoring tools in an HBIM process. The analysis distinguishes two approaches that differ in the role played by external databases and the objectives pursued. Conclusions were drawn highlighting common needs for overcoming technical and conceptual limitations imposed by the use of proprietary BIM authoring tools, and differences in application perspectives and effectiveness.

建筑信息模型 (BIM) 流程在建筑遗产 (HBIM) 中的应用在旨在调查、记录和保护建筑遗产的流程和活动中不断发展。但是，它仍然提出了一些问题，例如BIM模型中信息的形式化之间的兼容性；以及当前软件实现与外部资源建立连接的固有限制。在此基础上，本文旨在回顾目前正在试验哪些方法来提高语义丰富度并扩展当今 HBIM 流程中最常见的 BIM 创作工具提供的知识表示领域。该分析区分了两种方法，它们在外部数据库所扮演的角色和追求的目标方面有所不同。
