Ontologies in Digital Twin: Methodology, Lessons Learned and Practical Approach

This workshop was co-organized by the Building Digital Twin Association (BDTA) and 6 EU-funded projects that have developed a construction-phase digital-twin data model, and their ontological representation, capable of capturing all data requirements for the digital representation of building and/or infrastructure construction sites.

Participating projects: COGITO, BIM2TWIN, BIMprove, ASHVIN, SPHERE, BIMERR, and BIM4EEB.

Session Chair: Agnieszka Mikolajczyk, ASM Market Research and Analysis Centre
