OntoBDC (Ontology-Based Data Capabilities)

OntoBDC

OntoBDC is a domain-driven data architecture for engineering systems.

OntoBDC provides a structured way to define capabilities, actions, and use cases over engineering data.

It enables reproducible, auditable, and automation-ready workflows across technical domains.

🏗️ Used by

OntoBDC is currently used as the core data and execution layer of:

• InfoBIM

InfoBIM leverages OntoBDC to define capabilities, execute checks, and orchestrate engineering data workflows.

📦 Requirements

• Python 3.11+
• pip

🚀 Getting Started

Install the package:

pip install ontobdc

After installation, the ontobdc CLI becomes available:

ontobdc --help

From there, you can execute checks, run capabilities, and interact with registered use cases.

Alternative: Google Colab

You can try OntoBDC directly in Google Colab without installing anything locally.

View or download the example notebook to see capabilities in action.

✅ Checking

The check command validates engineering data against defined capabilities and rules.

ontobdc check --repair

It executes registered checks over the target dataset, reports inconsistencies, and optionally applies automated repairs when --repair is enabled.

This ensures reproducibility, auditability, and deterministic validation of engineering workflows.
