An Ontology for Modelling and Supporting the Process of Authoring Technical Assessments
This work addresses the need for improved efficiency in generating technical documents for the building industry, though it appears incremental as it applies existing semantic web techniques to a specific domain.
The paper tackles the challenge of automating the creation of technical assessments in the building sector, which is experiencing rapid growth in regulatory texts, by proposing a semantic web approach to model and support this authoring process.
In this paper, we present a semantic web approach for modelling the process of creating new technical and regulatory documents related to the Building sector. This industry, among other industries, is currently experiencing a phenomenal growth in its technical and regulatory texts. Therefore, it is urgent and crucial to improve the process of creating regulations by automating it as much as possible. We focus on the creation of particular technical documents issued by the French Scientific and Technical Centre for Building (CSTB), called Technical Assessments, and we propose services based on Semantic Web models and techniques for modelling the process of their creation.
