Description

The Building Concrete Monitoring Ontology (BCOM) is defined for capturing information of concrete work, concrete curing and testing of concrete properties. Further Information on the development and usage of the Ontology can be found in the following publication: Liu et al. (2021): An ontology integrating as-built information for infrastructure asset management using BIM and semantic web. In: Proceedings of 2021 European Conference on Computing in Construction, Online eConference, URL: https://ec-3.org/publications/conferences/2021/paper/?id=167
