Infrastructure Development in the Knowledge City

  • Conference paper
Intelligent Computing in Engineering and Architecture (EG-ICE 2006)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 4200))

Abstract

This paper presents a roadmap for establishing a semantic Web-based environment for coordinating infrastructure project development. The proposed roadmap uses semantic knowledge management and web service concepts to integrate all aspects of infrastructure project development. The roadmap focuses on integrating business, safety and sustainability dimensions in addition to traditional engineering aspects. The roadmap also emphasizes a process-oriented approach to the development of e-infrastructure.
