Methodology for developing and selecting the project of a fire protection system

The article is devoted to the issues of analyzing a large number of regulatory documents in the design of fire protection systems. The main characteristics of the object are defined, which determine the design decisions when creating such a system. A technique for choosing the most significant factors and criteria for making fundamental design decisions is described; they make it possible to establish if it is necessary to equip the facility with a particular type of fire automatics systems. The implementation of existing foreign applications in Russian design companies causes difficulties associated both with the lack of a regulatory document base and with the peculiarities of introducing foreign products, including the reorganization of business processes and the requirement to retrain personnel. Specialists can spend hours adding to these systems the information that complies with the Russian legislation as well as reference information, for example, from a guide to combustibility of materials. The article describes the structure and composition of the decision support system that helps to create an accompanying fire protection system for the project as well as to choose a configuration according to the specified criteria. The ontological model developed by the authors is the knowledge base of such a system. The generated RDF file and the ontology of the subject area "Fire protection systems" are available in the public domain. Although they were developed for a specific application, they can be used by developers to solve other problems in the design, installation and maintenance of fire protection systems.
