CWA 15141:2004

European eConstruction Meta-Schema (EeM)

Scope

This CWA defines the difference between meta-schema operating as a definition for data provision and ontology acting as the specification of value and relationship at an operational level. It describes a number of metaschema that have been developed to support for �ICT in Construction� (or any synonym thereof as described in [CWA1]).
The purpose of this CWA is to define the required content of a meta-schema that is within the �space� of eConstruction and to recommend approaches to the use of meta-schema in a consistent way.
This CWA can function as a reference for meta-schema for all stakeholders, not just researchers but also clients, owners, users, funders and the building industry parties themselves (architects, engineers, consultants, main/sub-contractors, suppliers, manufacturers and their umbrella and service organisations). Especially strategists and people having to decide on future ICT innovation steps are within the intended audience.
