Introduction

The research questions targeted in this PhD research, as revisited in chapter 5, were:

1. How can state-of-the-art web technology possibly help to realise new, dynamic BC processes that adequately serve the Client's needs (provide value for money) and, at the same time, serve the needs of the construction companies (provide money for value)?
2. How to use the NG Internet to provide both parties (and their application software) with the precise and Semantically rich on-line BC object definitions?
3. How can software vendors take advantage of such a development?
4. What is the possible role of the traditional Specification in the newly innovated BC processes?

In the next sections these questions will be answered in detail.
