- Abstract:
The AIC Research Group at the University of Salford has been involved in a government-funded project that has resulted in the development of an integrated multi-user distributed construction project database through the implementation of next-generation Internet technology together with Product Data Technology - WISPER. The objective of the project was to develop a working system capable of demonstrating the future direction of information integration with the project partners’ businesses. This paper presents the development of the specification application that aims to demonstrate the potential for such technologies to enhance the specification process, enabling design elements to be specified directly from a building product database Web site.
