A Proposed Material Passport Ontology to Enable Circularity for Industrialized Construction
Abstract
There is a need to collect, store, and share product data to enable circularity in industrialized construction supply chains. To do this, the concept of a Material Passport (MP) has been proposed, but exactly how MPs should be created and managed is less understood, especially in consideration of industrialized construction product platforms. This paper proposes a knowledge and process representation framework called the Material Passport Ontology (MPO). The MPO outlines key components of MPs and their interrelationships. Finally, the paper discusses several implementation challenges and possibilities.

The review found that other challenging areas of integration include the nature of data itself, with reports of data being recorded manually or in response to specific business and procurement models, and negative impacts of driving designers to select from limited databases.
“Other challenging areas of integration comprise the nature of data itself, with reports of data being recorded manually or in response to specific business and procurement models (Kedir et al., 2021), as well as the negative impacts of driving designers to select from limited databases (Honic et al., 2019a).”

Recent research has scoped opportunities for automated data collection for MPs, providing opportunity for dynamic data repositories for repurposed materials which can be 'mined' as part of urban-wide policies.
“Within this professional environment, recent research has scoped opportunities for automated data collection for MPs (Kedir, Bucher, & Hall, 2021), providing opportunity for dynamic data repositories for repurposed materials (Rose & Stegemann, 2019) which can be 'mined' as part of urban-wide policies (Honic et al., 2019c).”

The review identified nuance in the dataset: some authors favour the integration of data while others emphasise coexistence and interoperability across datasets similar to BIM federated architectures.
“Here we identify some nuance in the dataset, with some authors favouring the integration of data (Kedir et al., 2021;Kovacic & Honic, 2021;Panza et al., 2023) and others bringing attention to the coexistence (Buchholz & Lützkendorf, 2022) and interoperability (Çetin et al., 2023) across datasets similar to BIM federated architectures (Beach et al., 2017).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
