Presented at: 7th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2008)
Home automation has recently gained a new momentum thanks to the ever-increasing commercial availability of domotic com- ponents. In this context, researchers are working to provide interopera- tion mechanisms and to add intelligence on top of them. For supporting intelligent behaviors, house modeling is an essential requirement to un- derstand current and future house states and to possibly drive more complex actions. In this paper we propose a new house modeling on- tology designed to fit real world domotic system capabilities and to support interoperation between currently available and future solutions. Taking advantage of technologies developed in the context of the Se- mantic Web, the DogOnt ontology supports device/network independent description of houses, including both “controllable” and architectural el- ements. States and functionalities are automatically associated to the modeled elements through proper inheritance mechanisms and by means of properly defined SWRL auto-completion rules which ease the mod- eling process, while automatic device recognition is achieved through classification reasoning.
