BSCC0058: Digital Innovation for a Circular Economy

1. Introduction:

This document includes important information regarding your summative assessment 3 (Individual Assignment). Please read this document in full and refer to it while preparing your assignment.

This coursework has 3 summative assessments marked on a scale of 100 in total. This individual assignment weighs 40% of the total mark

2. Assessment Brief:

Task: Students are required to submit a 1,000-word individual assignment. The work will focus on the selection and integration of ontologies within the built environment sector.

Requirements: Each student must:

Select three existing ontologies that are relevant to the built environment. Explore how these ontologies can be connected or aligned with each other.

Develop the diagram using the Chowlk Converter to support the mapping process. Define a specific problem that could be addressed through this mapping exercise. Demonstrate how the integration of these ontologies could provide new insights.

3. Category of GenAI use:

The following category outlines how AI can/cannot be used in this assessment:

Category 2 – AI tools can be used in an assistive role. Students are permitted to use GenAI tools in a limited, critical and responsible way. The student should still be the author of their own work – in other words, GenAI should be limited to supporting and assisting the student in completing the assessment and should not be completing the assessment (entirely or only in part) on the student’s behalf. Students may not use GenAI to gain unfair academic advantage.

For examples of each category please go to Using AI tools in assessment

Students must acknowledge where they have used AI within their coursework.

8. Assessment Support:

The assessment will be supported primarily through Lectures 4, 5, 7, and 10, which are designed to help students develop a strong understanding of fragmentation, interoperability, and the role of ontologies. Lecture 10 will focus in detail on existing ontologies, demonstrating how they can be mapped and applied. All required materials will be provided in advance, allowing students to familiarise themselves with the interface and test its use before the lecture. In addition, extra office hours will be offered, giving students the opportunity to discuss their work in depth and receive tailored guidance where needed.
