Data in the Built Environment – Why nothing has changed in 2000 years

Have you ever wondered why every building project goes over budget and does not meet its original planning? Or why that annoying pothole in front of your home never gets fixed? I (Sander de Meij, from BIM-Connected) suggest that’s because the Built Environment has not really changed that much since the first time we started making buildings thousands of years ago.

Part of this issue is the incredibly inefficient way the Built Environment implements data, digital tools and other ‘smart’ solutions. We at BIM-Connected help this industry to move into the future by implementing intelligent data solutions using Linked Data and the Semantic Web.

Do you want to learn more about Linked Data in general (or specifically within the Built Environment) or how we have built an exciting piece of software which allows us to build data-driven applications in minutes? Join us during this lunch lecture to discuss what it means to be a ‘knowledge engineer’ or a dedicated software engineer within the Built Environment.
