Service: Creation and management of semantic OTL relationships

Responsible organisation: Roads and Traffic Agency (Central-Government)

With the implementation of Building Information Management (BIM) , which (generally) relates to virtual construction and digital collaboration between all project partners within a construction project, the Roads and Traffic Agency (AWV) of the Flemish government is fully focused on the evolution towards a data-driven organization. AWV thereby exploits to the maximum the possibilities of modern digital methods and technologies to collect, manage and use correct, complete and up-to-date information about its assets. The 'assets' are the road infrastructure objects that AWV manages, maintains and operates: roads, cycle paths, tunnels, bridges and all peripheral infrastructure. With BIM, AWV can efficiently collect and manage all available information about its assets during their entire lifecycle (study and design phase / construction and installation / management and maintenance / replacement or disposal) in a central database. By collecting the asset data once and exchanging it in a standardized way. In the (further) development of the OTL information model, correctly typing the objects and adding properties to each object type poses few practical problems. However, establishing relationships between object types is a lot more complex. As part of this PIO project, AWV is looking for a widely applicable relationship tool for creating and managing semantic relationships between assets, in accordance with the OTL. In this way, better and more complex analyzes can be performed on the asset data in the 'virtual' copy, which should allow AWV to manage its assets more efficiently, to exploit them more efficiently and (also) maintain them predictively.
