What it is Filled
An artificial structure fixed in place on land or water, such as buildings, bridges, towers, dams, walls, piers and monuments, as distinct from movable objects; a broad category in geographic and heritage data.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent handle fixed constructions as a general category, routing to specific structure types and covering location, ownership, safety and heritage.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Immovable
- Human-made
- Broad category
- Subject to planning and building law
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Alter, load or demolish a structure without authorization and engineering approval.
- Hide signs of structural damage such as cracks, settlement or corrosion.
- Disclose security-sensitive details of critical structures such as dams.
- Damage protected monuments or heritage structures.
Only with a human decision
- Closing or reopening a structure after an inspection finds damage.
- Approving changes to a listed or safety-critical structure.
May
- Describe a structure's type, location and heritage status from official records.
- Monitor structural sensors and report anomalies to the owner or operator.
Moral aspects Filled
- Failures of bridges, dams and buildings kill people and cannot be undone.
- Heritage structures carry the memory of communities.
Who is affected
- Users and occupants
- People downstream or nearby
- Owners and operators
Owners Filled
Steward
The owner of the structure; building and heritage authorities regulate it.
Master systems
- Land registry or cadastre
- Heritage listing registers
