The built environment is a key leverage point for policy intervention to combat climate change and the statutory reporting of financial and non-financial indicators over the asset lifecycle is increasingly required. This poses significant information management challenges in a sector characterised by complexity. Contributions to-date which address Life Cycle Asset Information Management (LCAIM) remain siloed and difficult to generalise, resulting in limited in-practice uptake, but domain literature identifies graph databases and ontologies as suitable strategies for addressing this information-intensive challenge. This paper provides a LCAIM ontology, co-developed with stakeholders, and verified technically through implementation in a case study by responding to end-user-defined storage, retrieval, and enrichment functions using a knowledge graph. The prototype is then validated qualitatively with experts who perceive it as addressing collective governance-practice requirements. Overall, the study suggests that addressing technical LCAIM challenges may be feasible using available technologies and recommends prioritising research towards socio-economic issues.

用于策略和实践一致的生命周期分析和报告的知识图

建筑环境是应对气候变化的政策干预的关键杠杆点，越来越需要资产生命周期内财务和非财务指标的法定报告。这给一个以复杂性为特征的行业带来了重大的信息管理挑战。迄今为止，涉及生命周期资产信息管理 （LCAIM） 的贡献仍然是孤立的，难以推广，导致在实践中的采用有限，但领域文献将图形数据库和本体确定为解决这一信息密集型挑战的合适策略。本文提供了一个 LCAIM 本体，该本体是与利益相关者共同开发的，并通过使用知识图谱响应最终用户定义的存储、检索和丰富函数，通过在案例研究中的实施进行技术验证。然后，该原型由专家进行定性验证，这些专家认为它解决了集体治理实践要求。总体而言，该研究表明，使用现有技术解决 LCAIM 技术挑战可能是可行的，并建议优先考虑社会经济问题的研究。
