description: The Damage Topology Ontology (DOT) allows the definition of damage representations
  and their relations with other damages and affected construction components. The
  ontology supports a generic damage modeling approach and therefore could be applied
  for any type of degradation as well as for any construction type (e.g. buildings
  or bridges). Damage representations can be modeled either as damaged areas (dot:DamageArea)
  or elementary damage elements (dot:DamageElement). Thereby, instances of dot:DamageElement
  should be aggregated in a dot:DamageArea, however significant damages e.g. large
  cracks could be modelled as dot:DamageElement without dot:DamageArea. For grouping
  multiple coherent damages, a damage pattern could be defined by using dot:DamagePattern
  as third type for damage representation. Besides the topological damage classes,
  damage can also be categorized acording to a certain damage type using subclasses
  of dot:ClassifiedDamage as defined in extensions of DOT. A division between structural
  and non-structural damage is made by using the dot:StructuralDamage or dot:Defect
  classes. In addition to the topology, damage documentation that is commonly created
  during inspections and damage assessment can be linked to the damages as well as
  to the damaged components.
