The problem of heterogeneous data fusion in a Smartland: Proposal for an ontological platform for integrating data

Abstract

This paper presents a proposal for the intelligent territory platform based on ontologies. The platform can connect different types of agents which consist of sensors and devices acting as producers or consumers of information, and provide the real information for intelligent application. Ontology technologies can insure automatic information communication between agents and the systems. In our proposal, the intelligent platform can obtain data from these agents, and users can easily interact with the intelligent territory platform. The information of each agent is semantically represented as the standardized knowledge of the intelligent platform.
