Objective

The student can identify and explain different ways and their characteristics to manage and share construction data from file exchange and project banks to central or cloud-based services, common data environments and decentralised solutions. The student understands the requirements for data management in both asset management and in construction projects, and the concerns of decentralisation, data ownership, ease of access, granularity of access, and sensitivity of data resulting in security and privacy needs. The student knows the relevant data management standards and their application areas. The student is familiar how different data storage technologies are used in the construction sector. The student knows open data sources relevant to construction domain. The student knows and can use software tools to access, store and share construction data.

Content

- Nature of data production and consumption over construction lifecycle
- Decentralised data, data ownership, and data sovereignty
• Overview of current data management and sharing approaches
• ISO 19650 standard for BIM-based information management
• ISO 21597 standard for exchange of interlinked datasets
• Open CDE standard from buildingSmart
• Sensitivity of construction data
• Access control approaches and interfaces
• Different variations of cryptosystems and related key management
• Storage of construction data: files, relational databases, no-sql databases, graph databases
• Data access based on queries or API requests
• Open data relevant to construction domain
