Construction and landscape site operational resources: proposal for a digital price list taxonomy

Implementing digitalization in the construction sector is becoming crucial for the standardization and management of project information. The aim is to enable information exchange across various disciplines to improve efficiency during the design, planning, and construction phases, including economic aspects. This research seeks to address how to implement the management and definition of operational resources therein included landscape works. Therefore, the study has focused on formulating a detailed taxonomy of site elements. The structure comes from the need to classify resources through a clear and unique description, outlining the relationships between them through the formalization of an ontology. This approach has enabled the organization and cataloging of a vast number of resources commonly used in realization process sites, characterizing them from a performance, economic, and safety perspective and has been possible through the ontology definition which is based on a set of "determinants" representing the most significant characterizing information. In this way, data interoperability is enhanced, ambiguities in descriptions are reduced, and information is converted from a natural and often ambiguous or slang language to a more structured and uniform one. Additionally, this method provides a better representation of productive elements, particularly for construction site machinery used for landscape maintenance, which is currently underrepresented in the AEC sector.
