M2M Ontology Management And Semantics Interoperability

摘要

M2M Ontology Processor is in charge of processing, storing, or providing discovery function to ontologies published from outside or inside of the M2M domain. M2M Ontology Processor may functionally consist of an ontology processing component, an ontology classifying component, an ontology discovery component, and ontology repository. The ontology processing component may process published ontologies external and internal of M2M namespace, which may be used to provide semantics information to objects/entities. The ontology classifying component may classify ontologies and store them in the right hierarchy/location in Ontology Repository for discovery and usage. Ontology discovery component may provide ontology discovery and determine the matching one(s) for a requester to use. Ontology repository may store any ontology models that are published or generated external and internal to M2M domain. Those ontologies may be used for resources to enable semantics. Thus, ontology repository may interact with ontology classifying component and ontology discovery component.

1. A device comprising:
a processor; and a memory coupled with the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising: receiving ontology publishing message, the ontology publishing message comprising a first ontology from a first namespace; determining that the first ontology is not compatible with a format for a second namespace based on the ontology publishing message; and responsive to determining that the first ontology is not compatible with the format for the second namespace, converting the first ontology to a compatible format.
