  • QUOTE: In this paper, we describe the D-SCRIBE process used to build ontologies that are expected to have significant domain expansion after their initial introduction and whose coverage of concepts needs to be validated for a series of related applications. This process has been used to build SCRIBE, a very modular, ambitious ontology for the information about events triggered by both humans or nature, response activities by agencies that provide public services in cities by using resources and assets (land parcels, buildings, vehicles, equipment) and their communication (requests, work orders, sensor reports). SCRIBE reuses concepts from previously existing ontologies and data exchange standards, and D-SCRIBE retains traceability to these source influences.

  • QUOTE: The SCRIBE project has a computer science aspect and a Smarter Planet aspect.

    As a computer science project, we are exploring methods to build sets of modular ontologies (using OWL) starting from existing open standards, and we also specify the appropriate methods to compose these sets of ontologies with specific deltas (not built by us) that add and remove from the general purpose ontology for a general well-run client (in our case, a general well-run city), the specifics that could apply to one specific instance of a client (in our case, city) and its current processes and IT infrastructure. This research relates to Knowledge Engineering as well as to Model-Driven Development.
