Ontological Model

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present the development of an ontological model consisting of terms and relationships between these terms, creating a conceptual information model for the Built Cultural Heritage (BCH) domain, more specifically for preventive conservation. Design/methodology/approach The On-To-Knowledge methodology was applied in the ontology development process. Terms related to preventive conservation were identified by means of a taxonomy which was used later to identify related existing ontologies. Three ontologies were identified and merged, i.e. Geneva City Geographic Markup Language (Geneva CityGML), Monument Damage ontology (Mondis) and CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CIDOC-CRM). Additional classes and properties were defined as to provide a complete semantic framework for management of BCH. Findings A BCH-ontology for preventive conservation was created. It consists of 143 classes from which 38 originate from the Mondis ontology, 38 from Geneva CityGML, 37 from CIDOC-CRM and 30 were newly created. The ontology was applied in a use case related to the New cathedral in the city of Cuenca, Ecuador. Advantages over other type of systems and for the BCH-domain were discussed based on this example. Research limitations/implications The proposed ontology is in a testing stage through which a number of its aspects are being verified. Originality/value This ontological model is the first one to focus on the preventive conservation of BCH.

Abstract. In the heritage domain, capturing facts and knowledge for preventive conservation of Built Cultural Heritage (BCH) requires access to a large variety of data. It is a multidisciplinary activity and uses heterogeneous terminologies. In this regard, the BCH-ontology has been developed to facilitate integration and exchange of heterogeneous built cultural heritage information. The BCH-ontology reuses three already developed ontologies: Geneva City Geographic Markup Language (Geneva CityGML), Monument Damage ontology (Mondis), and CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CIDOC-CRM). Additionally, it provides a complete semantic framework by defining some classes and properties for improving BCH management. This paper presents the validation of the BCH-ontology ontological model to determine whether the ontology is able to represent BCH data under a preventive conservation approach. The San Luis seminary is a historical building built in the late XIX century in Cuenca-Ecuador and it is employed as use case. This validation allowed the identification of further use cases where the ontology offers a potential additional value in the BCH-domain.

Popularity of research in the area of robotics over the last years opens new tasks to develop in the area of intelligent behavior of robots for coalition creation and joint tasks solving by them. The article presents an approach to ontology-based mobile robots interaction for coalition creation. The approach is based on cyber-physical-social system concept where the physical devices interact in smart space with each other and with humans for implementing joint actions in physical space. In scope of the approach the context-based model for mobile robot interaction, the ontological model of a mobile robot, and the method for robot ontology matching have been developed. The ontology formally represents knowledge as a set of concepts within a domain, using a shared vocabulary to denote the types, properties, and interrelationships of those concepts. The presented approach has been approved by the point exploring and obstacles overcoming case study. Mobile robots have been constructed based on the Lego Mindstorms EV3 educational kit.
