The first steps are represented by the verbs: plan<\/strong> and specify<\/strong>. The first step, to plan, is based on \u201cplanning\u201d by defining the goal of the ontology, starting with defining its purpose and scope by answering the following questions:<\/p>\n The aim of this ontology is to represent the main concepts that constitute a Student Residence Building, from social instances to project types and physical characteristics. The developed ontology represents concepts such as ownership, users, location and type of project, physical characteristics and their relations.<\/p>\n The goal of this ontology is to be of use for design teams, investors and developers, who will be the main stakeholders in the process of growing the number of student residences based on the demand nowadays.<\/p>\n This ontology is intended to be used as a representation of the actual situation regarding student housing and the options out there in order to fulfill the needs of creating living spaces destined to higher education students in Europe and the world as well as considering the retrofit and reuse of existing buildings with this purpose.<\/p>\n Four main categories to be part of the ontology were defined and are described as follows:<\/p>\n This category will represent the possible ownership types within student residence buildings, which primarily are and were configured as sub-categories: (1) Public, (2) University and (3) Private.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The kind of end users will be represented in this category, while the inhabitants of the student residence will have an influence in the planning process. The types of customers were defined as 3 sub-categories: (1) Domestic, (2) International and (3) Exchange.<\/p>\n The location of a student residence was considered very relevant, since it impacts the type of project further opportunities for the student and cities\u2019 communities. The location category was split on three sub-categories: (1) Campus, (2) City and (3) Peripheral.<\/p>\n This category is considered the category with the most impact on the others, since the type of project will mostly have an influence on the location and based on that relation the choice of components is influenced as well. The category splits into three sub-categories: (1) New Construction and (2) Existing Building, these two having their own subclasses.<\/p>\n The components categories mainly represent the components that will represent somehow the type of building and its level of performance. This category will define the state of a building and will influence as well on the definition of its value and the design needs to fulfill by the design teams and investors. The components category was split into three sub-categories: (1) Opaque Building Components, (2) Transparent Building Components and (3) Building Services Components.<\/p>\n Based on the categories previously described, the arranging of them in a taxonomic hierarchy was done and is presented in the following taxonomy of concepts:<\/p>\n The taxonomic hierarchy\u00a0of the ontology is presented in the following graphical representation in fig 1.<\/p>\n Fig.1<\/em>\u00a0– OwlViz: owl: Thing<\/p>\n Two design options were proposed for this ontology. To differentiate the design options, individuals with different Data Properties were created. The data properties were defined based on Passivhaus buildings\u2019 performance criteria[2] in order to differentiate the options by their performance levels, being Option 1 ideal for new construction projects and Option 2 for retrofit projects[3]. The Data Properties for Option1 can be seen in Fig.\u00a02 and for Option2 in Fig. 3<\/p>\n Fig.2<\/em>\u00a0–\u00a0StudentResidenceOption1 and its Data properties<\/p>\n Fig.3<\/em>\u00a0–\u00a0StudentResidenceOption2 and its Data properties<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The ontology can be downloaded by clicking the download button bellow .
