[Fiware-ngsi] Semantic Extension of the the PubSub GE

Hi Fermin,

Sorry for the slow feedback. The extension provides an API which will be used primarily by UC projects. It implements a standard called Linked Data which is used within the Open Data community (which adopts the Open Data philosophy).

I'll send a description of the NGSI <-> RDF translation in my next post.

Regards,

Fano

Hi,

Is there any background documentation for this discussion, please? I
mean, e.g. an architecture diagram showing which entities (a GE?) are
interacting with the PubSub GE using the extension you are discussing, a
description of the NGSI <-> RDF translation (at high level at least, I
understand that you have not closed the low level yet), etc.

This kind of documentation would be very useful for me to fully
understand the topic under discussion (I joined to FIWARE in October so
probably I'm missing something discussing before) and be ready to
provide useful feedback.

Thanks!

Best regards,

------
Fermín

Which means that we could adopt any ontology we want or if we have used an initial ontology and would like to use another one, it is straightforward to do so. I haven't analysed the problem for the opposite direction, that is when RDF is the source language. If anyone as an idea for generating a XSD for  RDF documents complying to an OWL ontology, this would be helpful.

For instance, those dealing with "time" and "space" (such as an event ontologies which defines relations such as "occursBefore"  and  geolocation ontologies that define properties such as "longitude" and "latitude") will be useful for many IoT domain applications I presume.

>          [FR]: Once we have a running implementation and have validated it with some real data (NGSI queryResponse XML docs) over few ontologies, we will for sure explain our approach and document it. At this time we are still exploring alternative solutions. A viable one is still to be found and to be compared with the others.

>> Hi,
>>
>> In the context of the development of the semantic extension of the the PubSub GE semantic, we are developing a NGSI/XML to RDF/XML translator. To start with we are focusing on the NGSI/XML queryContextResponse...xml messages related to geolocation. We plan to use the "attributeDomainName" element as an hint to identify a geolocation context information.
>>
>> We have a first question about this: is there a reason for introducing 2 different values of this element related to geolocation? Namely: parcelGeo, geolocation? Why don't we simply use geolocation?
>>
>> More generally, could we assume that the value of the "attributeDomainName" could be used as a way to anticipate what the "contextAttribute" names (in the "contextAttributeList") will be?
>>
>> If it is the case, we can use this element to identify which ontology the target rdf will comply to and to use the corresponding "contextAttribute"s names as properties of the ontology or to find in an existing ontology the mapping between the properties of this ontology and the "contextAttribute" names.
>>
>> Apart from geolocation, in the examples we have found messages tagged with "parcelStep" "attribute DomainName". We assume that we should elaborate the corresponding RDF in compliance with some supply chain ontology.
>>
>> It would be interesting to do this translation exercise, with more NGSI/XML examples coming from UC projects which are using the PubSub GE, although the policy we currently foresee is that each UC project define its domain ontologies and we supply the project with a method to automate the transformation of the NGSI/XML content into RDF complying to this domain ontology.
