Standard

This document establishes general principles and gives guidelines for an indicator upper level ontology (IULO) for smart cities that enables the representation of indicator definitions and the data used to derive them. It includes: concepts (e.g., indicator, population, cardinality); and properties that relate concepts (e.g., cardinality_of, parameter_of_var).

The objective of the paper is to show how the OAM can be used to realize seamless integration of product information, with an emphasis on assembly, throughout all phases of a product design

SAREF4BLDG is an extension of the SAREF ontology that was created based on the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) standard for building information. It should be noted that not the whole standard has been transformed since it exceeds the scope of this extension, which is limited to devices and appliances within the building domain.

SAREF4LIFT is an ontology that extends SAREF for the Smart Lifts domain. This SAREF extension is based on a limited set of use cases and existing data models identified within available initiatives.

SAREF4ENER is an extension of SAREF that was created in collaboration with Energy@Home and EEBus to enable the interconnection of their (different) data models.

The intention of SAREF4AUTO is to connect SAREF with existing ontologies (such as W3C SSN, W3C SOSA, GeoSPARQL, etc.) and important standardization initiatives and ontologies in the Automotive domain.

The SAREF extension for the water domain (SAREF4WATR) is based on a limited set of use cases and from available existing data models.

SAREF4ENVI has two main aims: on the one hand, to be the basis for enabling the use of SAREF in the environment domain and, on the other hand, to exemplify how to enable interoperability between environmental devices in cooperation.

The SAREF4EHAW extension has been specified and formalised by investigating EHAW domain related resources such as: potential stakeholders, standardization initiatives, alliances/associations, European projects, EC directives, existing ontologies, and data repositories.

The SAREF extension for the wearables domain (SAREF4WEAR) is based on a limited set of use cases and from available existing data models.

The intention of SAREF4AGRI is to connect SAREF with existing ontologies and important standardization initiatives and ontologies in the Smart Agriculture and Food Chain domain, including ICAR for livestock data, AEF for agricultural equipment, Plant Ontology Consortium for plants, or AgGateway for IT support for arable farming.

ISO/IEC 18384-3:2016 defines a formal ontology for service-oriented architecture (SOA), an architectural style that supports service orientation. The terms defined in this ontology are key terms from the vocabulary in ISO/IEC 18384-1.
