Building a highly consumable semantic model for smarter cities
Abstract
Despite enormous progress made in reconciling and simplifying semantic standards, industry-strength models are still few. In this work, we describe our challenges and approach in building semantic models for consumption in assembling large IT solutions in cyber-physical (Smarter Cities) domains. The result, called SCRIBE, is a large-scale semantic model for Smarter Cities based on data gathered from cities worldwide. We will discuss the design tradeoffs, designer/user experience, and some of the pragmatic challenges related to a model that integrates large, complex, heterogeneous data sources. © 2010 ACM.
