Enrichment Of Semantic Sensor Network Ontology: Description Logics Based Approach

Description Logics (DLs) is the formalism of representing knowledge in Web Ontology Language (OWL). The Semantic Sensor Network Incubator Group (SSN-XG) developed the Semantic Sensor Network (SSN) ontology. However, there is less attention paid to develop any rigorous formal approach for it. This paper aims to enhance the semantics of SSN ontology by developing suitable DLs. Various concepts of such ontology are elaborated logically and with the support of suitable case study. The novelty of the proposed research work is to understand and represent the inherent knowledge of SSN ontology using DLs. Thus, it facilitates mathematical proof system.
