Abstract
Particular domain expertise in engineering and scientific fields has emerged demanding more sophisticated computer support for cooperative development of complex engineering artifacts. For the effective implementation of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) paradigm in highly interoperable domains the existence of suitable infrastructure is essential. Combined together, Architectural Design, Urban Planning and Construction Engineering highly influence the development process of contemporary and future engineering methods, standards and tools in overall Environment Engineering. The essential role of Architectural Design (AD) and Urban Planning (UP) is to enable forward looking approach to the building facility, while Construction Engineering (CE) expresses its routine through the transformation of abstract ideas to usable urban artifacts. Currently available software tools, supporting AD, UP and CE domains are far from being simple and ultimately demand advanced skills development. In this article we discuss the ontology aspects of SOA based support for the development of cooperative infrastructure over common data repository. The Abstract Space concept is defined as the ontology core.
