Graphisoft Implements TNO's Product Modeling Ontology
 BUDAPEST,
Hungary, Nov 28, 2007 - A new concept by TNO, called Product Modeling
Ontology (PMO), enables building designers and constructors to make and
adjust designs faster and with fewer errors, and to automatically calculate
the consequences. The concept is currently being implemented by Graphisoft,
a world leader with its ArchiCAD design software for architects and
builders, in the context of the EU
Manubuild Project.
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the joint storage and processing
of all of a construction’s relevant data. The Product Modeling Ontology
concept now extends these possibilities. Thanks to PMO, the consequences of
changes to the building model can be directly processed by computer. Until
now, this process of managing changes was an expensive procedure, prone to
errors. PMO allows the computer to take over this task.
“Graphisoft has always invented the future in building industry.
Our collaboration with TNO is no different”, stated Dominic Gallello, CEO of
Graphisoft.
Product Modeling Ontology is one of the first practical applications of
the Semantic Web (the new generation of internet applications). TNO and
Graphisoft are leaders in the building industry with regard to this
important technology. Project Modeling Ontology is an open model that is
available to everyone free of charge.
