SEAS-BuildingOntology ontology

The Seas Building BIM related vocabulary for the ITEA SEAS (Smart Energy Aware Systems) project. This ontology is targeted for defining structure of buildings (or more general facilities) and zones related to control and measurment with links to various BIM (Building Information Model) related standards.

Classes

Building

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/Building

Buildings are roofed constructions which can be used separately, have been built for permanent purposes, can be entered by persons and are suitable or intended for protecting persons, animals or objects.

BuildingItem

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/BuildingItem

A generalization of all the objects contained in building spaces that can have an unique location

BuildingPartition

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/BuildingPartition

A collection of secific (restriction to be added) rooms such as apartement or wing.

BuildingRelated

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/BuildingRelated

Is a category that includes devices and systems as described by building related data models, such as FIEMSER

BuildingSpace

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/BuildingSpace

A Space is a 3D volume bounded by surfaces. According to the FIEMSER definition, a building space in SAREF defines the physical spaces of the building. A building space contains building items such as devices.

BuildingSpatialStructure

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/BuildingSpatialStructure

A man made structure with spatial properties

BuildingStorey

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/BuildingStorey

The storey represents a (nearly) horizontal aggregation of spaces that are vertically bound

BuildingSurface

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/BuildingSurface

Surfaces such as surface of a wall element that encloses a space. In GbXML a surface can consist of several surfaces.

BuildingSystem

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/BuildingSystem

Any system not directly identifiable as a single building item inside building. It can contains several BuildingItems

Ceiling

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/Ceiling

Ceiling is a downwards tilted horizontal surface

CivilEngnineeringWork

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/CivilEngineeringWork

Civil engineering works are all constructions not classified under buildings : railways, roads, bridges, highways, airport runways, dams etc.

ComfortProfile

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/ComfortProfile

Comfort profile settings for the resident is defined as evaluations (a seas:profile is an evaluation). The comfortprofile is related to a room or other space with its featureOfInterest. The generatedBy links to activity that produced it.

Construction

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/Construction

Constructions are structures connected with the ground which are made of construction materials and components and/or for which construction work is carried out.

Door

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/Door

A door opening in a wall use for access between spaces.

Floor

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/Floor

A floor is a upwards tilted horzontal surface, could be divided to interior, exposed (outside) or raised flooor.

Furnishing

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/Furnishing

Other things such as furniture, decorations and other possibly movable articles that are typically not devices

GrossFloorArea

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/GrossFloorArea

Gross floor area is generally defined by the area within the perimeter of the walls bounding the space.

  • sub class of: Area

PointOfControl

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/PointOfControl

Access role associated with controlling a specific zone

PointOfMeasurement

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/PointOfMeasurement

Access role of measurement information associated with a specific zone

Resident

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/Resident

A resident of a building (might include also pets?)

  • sub class of: Role

Roof

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/Roof

A roof upwards tilted surface tilted up part of upper envelope of building.

Room

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/Room

A room in a building space enclosed by surfaces, this could also be modelled as role of space, not subclass of the space itself.

Site

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/Site

Site is a a specific locale with associated information describing its scope and context.

SiteOfBuilding

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/SiteOfBuilding

Building site is a locale containing one or more separate buildings.

SurfaceOpening

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/SurfaceOpening

A opening in a surface such as window or door

Wall

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/Wall

A Wall is (tilted more than 60 percent) vertical surface could be divided to interior, exterior and underground wall

Window

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/Window

A window is a typically opaque opening not used as access between spaces.

Zone

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/Zone

A general aggregation of administration, control, monitoring or measurement.

Object Properties

controlPointOf

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/controlPointOf

Specifies scope of administration, control or mesurement. Mainly either PointOfControl and PointOfMeasurment.

hasComfortProfile

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/hasComfortProfile

Shortcut for linking comfort profile settings for typically the resident but is open to other roles such as visitors or building owner.

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/hasOpening

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/isAdjacentToSpace

Surface is adjacent to a building space (or room).

measurementPointOf

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/mesurementPointOf

Specifies scope of administration, control or mesurement. Mainly either PointOfControl and PointOfMeasurment.

nominal energy consumption

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/nominalEnergyConsumption
