ABSTRACT
The linking rules not only specify the dependen-
cies between domains but also include the knowl-
edge about refinement of BIM data, which in
particular is needed to make a breakdown of build-
ing elements such as slabs and walls so that they can
be linked with work tasks. The advantage of the
rule-based linking approach is based on the hypoth-
esis that only few decisions such as the definition of
construction zones enable to derive a lot of design
data and, once these decisions have been made, can
easily be re-used in case of design changes.
