The use of digital representations of physical objects allows to simulate phenomena and
predict behaviours. The representativeness of a model is based on the congruency between …

The development of a smart city and digital twin requires the integration of Building
Information Modeling (BIM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), where BIM models …

Differences in the scope and intent of the contrasting IFC and CityGML data formats entail
that converting the former to the latter results in loss of information. However, for some use …

Modeling urban data is crucial for supporting automated code checking processes. Ideally,

Previous geo-referencing approaches for building information modeling (BIM) models can
be problematic due to:(a) the different interpretations of the term 'geo-referencing',(b) the …

Abstract Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a key enabler to support integration of
building data within the buildings life cycle (BLC) and is an important aspect to support a …

Geometric-semantic coherent building models are demanding in many geoscience
applications. Conventional building modeling methods often rely on successive roof plane …

In both the Geospatial (Geo) and Building Information Modelling (BIM) domains, it is widely
acknowledged that the integration of geo-data and BIM-data is beneficial and a crucial step …
