A data model for design knowledge

Abstract A likely system architecture for future information integration within the building industry will be an integrated backend database. The effective representation of design knowledge is one key element in this strategy. Another is support formodular evolution and change of the database structure as a design evolves. The Engineering Data Model (EDM) provides a strong foundation for defining the semantics of building design information and for suppoting extensibility. Here, we give an overview of the EDM research. We present our view of modularity and the integration of knowledge in a computerized design environment.
