Smart spatial ontology: Bridging semantic ontology to spatial topology

Abstract

This paper proposes a feasible approach named "Smart Spatial Ontology" for converting ontological declarations into topological relations and geometric features, which would then assist users to retrieve relevant cases from the case library. The purpose of this project is to extend the knowledge representing abilities of our design case library, which develops smart retrieval of spatial topology within plan drawings for assisting architectural design. © 2013 CAD Solutions, LLC.
