Description
This dataset provides a collection of semantically enriched RDF graphs representing both architectural and structural aspects of a timber structure. The data is organized into modular Turtle (.ttl) files and one RIF rule definition (.txt) for reasoning purposes.

Included in the dataset:

Architectural Graph.ttl: Captures the spatial and material characteristics of the architectural model, defined using standard RDF vocabularies.

Structural Graph.ttl: Encodes structural elements and their relationships, including support systems and load-bearing components, structured for semantic querying.

Neutral Building Model (Architectural + Structural).ttl: A consolidated RDF representation integrating architectural and structural elements. All proprietary references (e.g., BHoM) have been removed to ensure vendor neutrality and interoperability. Architectural columns are linked to structural bars, and architectural floors to structural panels. The model is fully queryable using SPARQL and adheres to open-access, GDPR-compliant standards.

RDF_RIF_Rule.pie.txt: A rule expressed in RDF/RIF Core syntax that demonstrates reasoning capabilities on the dataset.

This dataset supports the findings of a related journal paper (currently under submission) and is complemented by a GitHub repository containing the scripts and tools used to generate the RDF data. It is intended for researchers and professionals working on Linked Building Data, semantic modeling, ontology design, and integrated architectural/structural workflows in BIM.

All files are formatted using open standards (RDF, Turtle, RIF) and designed for use in FAIR-compliant, interdisciplinary design environments.

Notes A GitHub repository is linked as a secondary location for the same core dataset. It includes the main RDF graphs (architectural, structural, and integrated models) and the RIF rule file. Some additional files in the GitHub repo (Architectural Graph to link.ttl and Structural Graph to link.ttl) represent intermediate or experimental versions used in earlier stages of the project or during paper development. These contains also links that are used in the integrated model. These are not essential for reproducing the results but are provided for completeness and transparency.

Neutral Building Model integrating architectural and structural data in RDF/Turtle format. All references to BHoM have been removed to ensure vendor neutrality and software independence. The model maintains essential relationships, linking architectural columns to structural bars and architectural floors to structural panels. It is fully queryable, SPARQL-compatible, and formatted using standard RDF conventions. CustomData properties and proprietary elements have been removed to comply with GDPR and open-access requirements. This dataset is designed for interoperability, allowing researchers and industry professionals to use it in any computational or BIM workflow without dependencies.
