Masters thesis: ceXML - an XML vocabulary for building and civil engineering
I did my masters thesis work (Dutch: afstuderen) on the eConstruct project, the first half year of the project to be exact. A reasonable amount ended up in eConstruct in the end, I'm quite happy about it actually :-)
My graduation started one week before the EConstructProject had it's first meeting. So from the very beginning I've worked in that project and also my graduation was done 100% within that project and that project's scope. I basically did a little eConstruct of my own, so that my professor could see if any nice ideas came out of it. It did work out really well and one of the ideas now forms the basis of eConstruct, namely the use of terms defined in a taxonomy as tagnames. So if a taxonomy contains an object "door" and a property "height" the resulting file can look like this:
<door> <height meter="1.80"/> </door>
