Concept for the Development of a Practical Knowledge Base for Campus Infrastructure Models

The main emphasis of this article lies in introducing the conception for the commercial implementation of a knowledge base for models of campus infrastructure, which satisfies real practical requirements. The focus is not merely on theoretically elaborated data and knowledge models, but on real comprehensive data and knowledge assets. The conception synthesizes an entire existing infrastructure database and exemplary implantations of separate knowledge-based systems. The aim is to develop a prototype of a commercially useable system with an industrial emphasis by combining knowledge-based systems with related powerful software tools. The focus of constructional engineering aspects lies in using the standardized data formats, field-specific norms as well as standards and selected applications of the campus domain. From the perspective of informatics it aims to develop an expert system for processing knowledge on the basis of using “CWSM GmbH Software Solutions Dresden” existing systematic data model and already developed powerful software tools. Thereby, HTW Dresden university campus serves as a real case of application.
