Abstract

The construction industry has seen an increasing demand for interoperable data systems capable of integrating heterogeneous information sources. Semantic data integration, driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI), offers a powerful approach to enhancing data interoperability across diverse construction domains. This paper explores the role of AI in semantic integration of construction data, identifying key methodologies and challenges while proposing an AI-enabled semantic framework for enhanced interoperability in Building Information Modeling (BIM) and related systems.
