Syntax translation from first syntax to second syntax based on string analysis

A method of syntax translation for a building, the method comprising:

• receiving, by one or more processing circuits, a plurality of strings in a first syntax representing a plurality of entities of the building;
• identifying, by the one or more processing circuits, the plurality of entities of the building in a second syntax different than the first syntax and a plurality of relationships between the plurality of entities by analyzing the plurality of strings with a classification technique, the classification technique indicating an entity definition of the second syntax for each of the plurality of entities;
• and
• generating, by the one or more processing circuits, a data structure in the second syntax based on the entity definition of the second syntax for each of the plurality of entities and the plurality of relationships.

One or more storage devices storing instructions thereon that, when executed by one or more processing circuits, cause the one or more processing circuits to:

• receive a plurality of strings in a first syntax representing a plurality of entities of a building;
• identify the plurality of entities of the building in a second syntax different than the first syntax and a plurality of relationships between the plurality of entities by analyzing the plurality of strings with a classification technique and based on user input received from a user device, the classification technique indicating an entity definition of the second syntax for each of the plurality of entities;
• and
• generate a data structure in the second syntax based on the entity definition of the second syntax for each of the plurality of entities and the plurality of relationships.
