Designing the ontology for intelligent security system of residential community

Abstract

Intelligent Security systems represents a challenging domain for the implementation of Artificial Intelligence. They are inherently dynamic systems, aware of changes in their environment and able to react intelligently. The ontology provides the common vocabulary, the foundation for specification of objects included in a system and their interactions. We consider the ontology as software document, which is developed alongside the security system. In this sense it is a local ontology, reflecting the current version of the application. However, to be reusable, we build it based on GFO foundational ontology, allowing to model spatial, temporal and situational dynamics. The first version of ontology is built based on scenarios supported by the system. It is initially represented as a set of patterns in pattern language. The final version of ontology is represented in OWL and RDF formats.
