Abstract

In the architecture/engineering/construction (AEC) industry, a large number of data models (e.g., data exchange standards and task-specific data models) have been created and utilized to represent and exchange data in software packages. To meet the ever-expanding requirements for modeling real world information, the data models need to be updated frequently. Accordingly, those who need to implement these data models in their AEC-related software which often requires that they possess civil engineering domain knowledge, have to change their existing implementations for compliance with these models to account for the latest update. Before adopting changes of such data models, those developers working at AEC-related software companies must precisely identify which parts of the data models have been modified in a new release. Given the growing scale and complexity of today’s data models involved in the AEC domain, identification of differences in two versions of a data model is a time-consuming and error-pron...
