This DTDL ontology is implemented based on the domain ontology RealEstateCore. RealEstateCore is a common language used to model and control buildings, simplifying the development of new services. The ontology is rich and complete, while providing simplicity and real-world applicability with proven industry solutions and partnerships. It has seen practical deployments across sizeable real estate portfolios over the past several years, and has gone through several revisions based on real-world feedback and learning. RealEstateCore specifically does not aim to be a new standard, but rather provides a common denominator and bridge with other building industry standards such as Brick Schema, Project Haystack, W3C Building Topology Ontology (W3C BOT), and more. Read more about our ontology alignment with standards. The original RealEstateCore ontology is represented using the W3C Web Ontology Language (OWL) and it can be visualized here. It has been converted into the DTDL syntax used in this repository using our universal OWL2DTDL tool.

We collaborated with Open Agile Smart Cities (OASC) and Sirus to provide DTDL-based onotlogy, starting with ETSI CIM NGSI-LD, and accelerate accelerate development of digital twins-based solutions for smart cities. In addition to ETSI NGSI-LD, we-ve also evaluated Saref4City, CityGML, ISO and others.
The ETSI CIM NGSI-LD specification defines an open framework for context information exchange named NGSI-LD which comes with an information model that defines the meaning of the most needed terms, and a domain-specific extension to model any information. The core meta-model provides a basis for representing property graphs using RDF/RDFS/OWL, and is formed of Entities, their Relationships, and their Properties with values, encoded in JSON-LD.
