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.

ISO/IEC 21000-21:2017 specifies an ontology for representing contracts in the Multimedia Framework formed for the transaction of MPEG-21 Digital Items or services related to the MPEG-21 Framework. Media Contract Ontology (MCO) aims to digitally express agreements made in environments using ISO/IEC 21000. These agreements are contracts for transactions of content packed as Digital Items, as well as for services provided around this content by means of a sematic representation. The range of contracts under scope are as follows: - contracts about transactions on rights for the exploitation of content as MPEG-21 Digital Items; - contracts about the provision of MPEG-21-based services, like delivery, identification, encryption, search and others. However, MCO can also be used as electronic format for contracts on the trade of media rights beyond the MPEG framework.

ISO/IEC 21000-19:2010 describes MPEG-21 Media Value Chain Ontology (MVCO). The MVCO may be used to capture knowledge about media value chains and to represent it in a computer readable way, concepts in the domain and the relationships between those concepts. ISO/IEC 21000-19:2010 describes the following technology. <ul><li>Model: the model is described in Clause 6, by way of a narrative description of the Value Chain, its main elements and relations.</li><li>Representation: the MVCO has been formalised as a normative OWL Ontology, and the description of which is given in this Clause. The description consists of listing the classes, the object properties, the datatype properties, and the class individuals. Classes are described by giving the name, an English definition, the class hierarchy, and the restrictions imposed on the class. The representation is given in Clause 7. Annex B<b> </b>contains the normative OWL (XML/RDF) comprising the entire semantics of the elements in the model.</li><li>Ontology use: an Informative section is provided with non normative descriptions of use, extensions and an API (Annex A).</li></ul>

ISO/TS 19150-1:2012 defines the framework for semantic interoperability of geographic information. This framework defines a high level model of the components required to handle semantics in the ISO geographic information standards with the use of ontologies.

This document specifies a taxonomy and an ontology for blockchain and distributed ledger technologies (DLT). The taxonomy includes a taxonomy of concepts, a taxonomy of DLT systems and a taxonomy of application domains, purposes and economy activity sections for use cases. The ontology includes classes and attributes as well as relations between concepts. The audience includes but is not limited to academics, architects, customers, users, tool developers, regulators, auditors and standards development organizations.
