OntologySummit2015 Track D Session - Thu 2015-01-22

Session Co-chairs: MarkUnderwood

  • Abstract
    The existence of standards, both official and de facto, can dramatically influence the software development life cycle for ontology projects. This is especially for greenfield efforts, which can peg existing vocabulary, interoperability settings, test harnesses and verification processes to new projects. Standards may be essential for domain-specific data quality assurance. Standards also have a sociotechnical purpose. Communities of Interest (CoI) behind a standards effort can supersede a standard by concentrating expertise and collecting artifacts related to the standard. Because the world of "things" is by definition vast, standards can facilitate connecting software to devices by offering abstractions that impact domain-specific knowledge of the devices. This is helpful for building ontologies. That said, software development is a deregulated engineering process, and many successful software ventures have succeeded by ignoring or incorporating bits and pieces of unacknowledged standards work, sometimes creating new de facto standards in the process. The purpose of this track is to help potential IoT ontology developers understand the standards landscape, both official and de facto.

Approach
Survey official IoT standards
Identify de facto standards
Identify related standards, projects, bodies not officially designed as IoT or WoT
Highlight domains where ontology efforts:
(1) are most needed; (2) have harmonious partnership opportunities; (3) available subcomponents
Discuss Challenges: Power mgmt., security, signal post-processing, provenance, signal quality, discovery, metadata, network issues, Big Data
Related work: Modsim (e.g., Yang Song, et al. 2012, Sensor Fusion, Linked Open Data, augmented reality, Software Defined Networks (SDN)
Lessons from history: middleware, intelligent agents, CEP, embedded systems, DoD fusion
Retrospective: Related Lessons from Ontology Big Data 2014

    • You can indicate that you want to ask a question verbally by clicking on the "hand" button, and wait for the moderator to call on you; or, type and send your question into the chat window at the bottom of the screen.
    • thanks to the soaphub.org folks, one can now use a jabber/xmpp client (e.g. gtalk) to join this chatroom. Just add the room as a buddy - (in our case here) summit_20150122@soaphub.org ... Handy for mobile devices!
  • Discussions and Q & A:
    • Nominally, when a presentation is in progress, the moderator will mute everyone, except for the speaker.
    • To un-mute, press "*7" ... To mute, press "*6" (please mute your phone, especially if you are in a noisy surrounding, or if you are introducing noise, echoes, etc. into the conference line.)
