The document discusses the Internet of Things (IoT) in the context of buildings, focusing on the importance of semantics and naming conventions in architecture for effective human-computer interaction. It emphasizes that clear distinctions must be made between things and their names to avoid confusion, which can hinder real-world applications and data management in construction. By improving naming practices, better interoperability and data accuracy can be achieved in building information modeling (BIM) and its applications.

- 3. Semantics in Architecture Names Have a Special Role in Human-Computer Interaction First, there are things. Anything that anyone wants to say anything about, is a thing. Buildings, people, numbers, reports, whatever: they are all things. Note, there are also of course the linguistic tokens which are used to refer to things: nodes, names, words, numerals, whatever. It is OK for these names to be things themselves, but be very careful not to confuse a thing with its name. It is usually best, if you want names to be things, to keep them very strictly segregated from the other things, the ones they refer to, in order to avoid this very common confusion. Lumping names and the named together almost always causes things to break. People are often careless about the distinction, but its important. Pat Hayes, Ontolog Forum, IHMC People are smart. We can understand what something is without knowing it’s name. You have to tell a computer everything. http://merc.tv/img/fig/umlmechs.gif
