Synopsis:

The course „Data Management“ provides an overview of the basic principles and practices of data management in the context of construction projects. This course will equip students with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively collect, organize, analyze, and interpret data related to structural analysis, geotechnical investigation, and other construction activities. The course covers various data management techniques, including data acquisition, storage, integration, quality assurance, and visualization, while emphasizing the importance of data governance, security, and ethical aspects. Students will gain valuable insights into using data to make informed decisions, increase project efficiency, and improve overall data management.

Requirements:

No previous requirements beyond usual computer work.

Syllabus of lectures:

1) Data management life cycle.

2) Data collection techniques and use of existing data sources.

3) Data formats, working with files and data flows.

4) Principles of data storage, selection of suitable storage and their options.

5) Ensuring data quality and integrity.

6) Design of data and metadata structure using standards and ontologies.
