A large proportion of the data created during the inspection and assessment of stone facades and their damages is recorded in formats that are not machine-readable and thus cannot be further processed or managed digitally. Consequently, this increases the risk of data loss and incorrect information due to human misinterpretation.

Therefore, a Multimodel-based approach has been developed in which stone facades of existing buildings are digitized as IFC-model by using proxy entities and linked with web ontologies for semantic enrichment. Additionally, detected anomalies in the stone structure are implemented and linked with geometrical representations. By utilizing additional rules and inference mechanisms, the anomalies can be classified, and a knowledge-based damage assessment is processed.
