- First example of an end-to-end methodology using semantics for compliance checking. The UK Government BIM Task group judged it more capable than current commercial offerings (Technical Coordinator, BIM4Regs Group). This work contributed to BuildingSmart International’s work, leading to a recommendation that semantic technologies are one of the primary technologies for achieving automated regulatory compliance (BuildingSmart.org, the worldwide industry body driving the digital transformation of the built asset industry). Cardiff subsequently secured £650K funding, including the D-COM research network (www.dcom.org.uk), a Construction Network+ grant via UCL, and an InnovateUK/Construction Innovation Hub grant via BRE, to digitise UK regulations.
