Abstract

The modern development of the construction industry requires the unification and standardization of terminology, especially in the context of digitalization and the implementation of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technologies. This article examines the process of forming a digital thesaurus for the construction industry, aimed at systematizing concepts used in regulatory and technical documentation. An analysis of 1566 regulatory documents was conducted, resulting in the identification of 4210 existing terms and 10226 candidate terms. Data processing methods included frequency analysis, linguistic processing, and expert evaluation. The Tematres platform was chosen as the thesaurus management system, providing structured term representation, multilingual support, and integration with international standards SKOS and RDF. The platform's key advantages include open-source accessibility, flexible configuration, automated search, and equivalent term support. However, several limitations were identified, such as the lack of tools for semantic relationship visualization and limited support for ontological models. The obtained results confirm the efficiency of the proposed approach for automating regulatory control and enhancing intelligent search. The developed thesaurus can be integrated into digital design and expert evaluation systems, facilitating the elimination of terminological inconsistencies and improving the accuracy of regulatory requirements.
