Enhancing Urban Communication with Ontologies in Civil Engineering

This project aims to enhance communication in urban civil engineering projects by increasing knowledge and promoting the usage of ontologies. The objectives include creating a taxonomy of UCE ontologies, developing a visual urban civil engineering ontology and editor, constructing multi-lingual ontologies, and analyzing the role of ontologies in improving communication among stakeholders. The scientific program includes reviewing the state-of-the-art, defining research needs, developing methodologies, and assessing the impact of ontologies on communication. The organization will involve working groups focusing on methodologies, ontology construction, and organizational impacts. The dissemination plan includes sharing information on websites, e-mail networks, publications, workshops, and conferences. The main deliverables will be a comprehensive ontology and a software tool for ontology management and updates.

  1. COST C21 Kick-off meetingUrban Ontologies for an improved communication in urban civil engineering projectsTOWNTOLOGY Project

  2. Objective of the Action The main objective of the Action is to increase the knowledge and promote the use of ontologies in the domain of Urban Civil Engineering projects, in the view of facilitating the communications between information systems, stakeholders and UCE specialists at a European level (Groupware).

  3. Secondary objectives of the Action • producing a taxonomy of ontologies in the UCE field, contrasting existing design methodologies, techniques, glossaries and production standards ; • developing an urban civil engineering ontology both in textual and visual (graph) presentation and a visual editor to integrate and update concepts, definition, photos, etc. into the ontology (software tool) ; • developing a set of guidelines for the construction of multi-lingual UCE ontologies, based on practical examples (cases) ; • analysing the role of ontologies as a tool to foster an improved communication between UCE stakeholders.

  4. Scientific programme • State-of-the-art review • Definition of main research needs on UCE ontologies • Methodologies for developing UCE ontologie • Construction of multi-lingual UCE ontologies • Impact of ontologies upon communication between UCE actors • Synthesis of the contributions • Reporting, publication and dissemination

  5. Organisation - Working groups • WG 1 - Methodologies for developing UCE ontologies • WG 2 - Construction of multi-lingual UCE ontologies • WG 3 - Impact of ontologies upon organisational structures

  6. Timetable of the Action

  7. Dissemination • posting of general information on a public Web-site; • posting of working documents on a password-protected website; • establishment of an e-mail network; • publications: state-of-the-art reports, interim reports, case study reports, proceedings, guidelines, manuals, final reports; • events: workshops, seminars and conferences organised by the MC, contributions to other national and international conferences and symposia; • articles in scientific and technical journals; • non-technical publications.

  8. Main deliverables of the Action • an ontology (even not exhaustive) in both in textual and visual (graph) presentation ; • a software tool, a visual editor in order to integrate and update concepts, definition, photos, etc. into the ontology.
