Ontology for building permit authorities

Specification

Ontology Requirements Specification Document
1	Purpose
	The purpose of the OBPA is to provide a structural basis for representing the organizational structure of building permit authorities and to support decision making for a process that is either supported or automated. The objective is to ensure a transparent, objective, and rule-based process for assigning building permit applications.
2	Scope
	The scope of the OBPA includes the quality-assured and seamless exchange of information between building permit authorities, building officials, and applicants. The OBPA allows the representation of building permit authorities, related entities, and the relationships and attributes of entities relevant to building permit processing. Additionally, the OBPA represents data in different contexts to meet the needs of all end-users. The scope presented here is limited to the assignment process, although more subprocesses exist in the building permit process. To meet the objectives, general rules that apply to all building permit authorities are developed along with authority-specific rules (which apply to individual building permit authorities).
3	Implementation Language
	The implementation language for the OBPA is OWL for the T-Box and SHACL for business rules (i.e., the R-Box). This approach provides the necessary flexibility and expressiveness for modeling the complex relationships between building permit authorities, building officials, and building applications. The OBPA is operating bilingually in English and German.
4	Intended End-Users
	The intended end-users of this ontology are supervisory building officials, operating building officials, and applicants. It must be noted that the ontology itself is not directly used by end-users but is rather implemented as an application in a software tool.
5	Intended Uses
	The OBPA is used to support the following use cases: Description of the organizational structure and resources of BPAs Support for decision making in the assignment process Automated assignment of building applications to building officials.
6	Ontology Requirements
	Non-Functional Requirements
	In addition to these use cases, the following nonfunctional requirements have been identified as crucial for the OBPA: Clear and concise terminology Consistency Extensibility Reliability Adherence to the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) Usability Coverage
	Functional Requirements: Lists or tables of requirements written as Competency Questions and sentences
	Use Case 1: Description of the organizational structure of building permit authorities What are the entities and resources of building applications? How many building applications are processed by a building official? What kind of construction project does the building application consist of related to the type of building? Where is the construction project located? What building official processes or has processed which building applications? What are the entities and resources related to building officials? How much experience does a building official have in years? Which building official specializes in the subject area of building law? What kind of building (expertise) is the building official familiar with? In what territorial sector does the building official operate? In what department is the building official employed? Use Case 2: Support for decision making in the assignment process Is the building application reviewed properly according to a) sector; b) subject area; c) expertise; d) experience; and e) role of the building official? Use Case 3: Automated assignment of building application to building official Who should process the building application(considering the sector, subject area, expertise, and experience)? How long should the building application review take time?

Modules

Agent module

The central component of the agent module is the obpa:Agent class. This class has two subclasses, namely obpa:Person and obpa:Organization. The obpa:Organization subclass is further described in the organization module, while the obpa:Person subclass is directly assigned to activities and building applications in the OBPA. Activities describe the specific activity performed by a person in relation to a building application. Persons can be assigned to different roles within the OBPA through obpa:hasRole, such as applicant, building official, or supervisory building official, and they can be further classified into more specific subclasses based on their roles, such as obpa:BuildingOfficialRole. The role functions can also be used to enforce constraints, as certain process activities may only be performed by certain roles.

In addition to roles, expertise is introduced to the ontology by obpa:Expertise, which refers to the skills and knowledge that make a person an expert in a certain field. For example, a building official may possess expertise in inspecting a particular type of building. To determine whether the authority staff is administrative or technical, obpa:SubjectArea as introduced in addition to obpa:Expertise and obpa:hasRole. Each person assigned the role of obpa:BuildingOfficialRole is assigned a processing obpa:Sector in a territorial manner. In our example, the processing obpa:Sector is defined by an address range. The building official’s work experience is a crucial aspect for stating the years of experience a person has which relates in some cases to their skills or assigned tasks. In the OBPA, work experience is represented as a data property called obpa:work_experience, which is linked to the individual representing the building official.

Organization module

As previously explained, organizations are a subclass of agents. Given that different authorities are involved in a building permit process, they are represented as a distinct subclass of organization (as depicted in Figure 3). In the OBPA, organizations are, for example, the building permit authority, heritage office, or environmental authority. The authorities are further structured into departments, which are modeled as obpa:Department and represent organizations themselves. A building authority can be linked to different departments through the obpa:hasDepartment relation.

Each authority is allocated a specific sector within the OBPA, which is represented by a postal code. This sector, also known as the processing territorial area, defines the boundaries within which the authority operates. The processing area ensures that the relevant building application falls within the authority’s area of responsibility. The obpa:Organization class is linked to the organization ontology and vCard ontology through owl:equivalentClass to org:Organization and vcard:Organization, respectively.

Figure 3: Illustration of the organization module

Building application module

The core module of the OBPA is the building application module, which is depicted in Figure 4. This module is crucial to the ontology and is submitted by the building owner or applicant. Once submitted, a supervisory building official assigns it to anadministrative or technical building official. The building application itself refers to one or more construction projects. Each construction project contains one or more buildings, which can be classified into different types of buildings, such as commercial construction, heritage, or public construction. Building classification is critical for ensuring the appropriate assignment of building officials, who can process specific building classes based on their expertise. To facilitate further processing of the building application, building information is aligned to IfcOWL and BOT. This alignment is achieved by establishing an owl:equivalentClass relationship between obpa:Building and ifc:IfcBuilding or bot:Building. Additional building ontologies can be used and referenced based on the application and building model used.
