Long-term development in a volatile environment is a problem faced by almost every city. The strategy of urban development plays a key role in guiding the process of their development. In the perspective of a sustainable development, cities ought to be studied in a comprehensive manner taking into account many interrelations between various urban issues. This can be achieved by identifying and extracting the knowledge underlying in related data and models. Using ontologies is a robust way to achieve the semantic enrichment of 3D city models as well as their interoperability with other urban models, so that they become an effective matrix of urban knowledge in a perspective of sustainability. This Action will create an integrative platform based on semantically enriched 3D city models, use an ontology-based methodology that could be reused assess the usability of the integrated platform for planning and decision-making.
Level of Detail (LoD) is an important concept in 3D city modelling which define the degree of abstraction of real-world objects, primarily designated to use an optimum amount of details of real-world objects according to the user’s needs, and computational and economical aspects. However, despite the widespread usage of LoD, there are a number of shortcomings, and in3D city modelling the topic is not yet researched thoroughly. There are obvious computational challenges with current LoD approaches, primarily redundancy. Addressing and resolving these issues have both academic and business advantages.
