Summary
Historical buildings, such as houses, bridges, and industrial buildings, require significant information and knowledge to enable reconstruction. If, at the initial phase of the reconstruction project there is not enough time to explore the building, the reconstruction project represents a risk to the investor and the contractor. Uncertainties arise in the project at the time of reconstruction. Successful reconstruction is based on long-term and extensive research, a systematic approach, involving various experts, and, finally, the use of modern information technology tools and methods. This paper describes the building of two different databases and the integration of information of the objects in the databases. The paper also describes how knowledge is used in the initial phase of the reconstruction project. In this way, a systematic approach to the project of historical building reconstruction can be integrated. In this paper, two databases, RLBD and BDB, are compared. The results reveal that the RLBD is useful for analysis of existing buildings.
