Introduction
The Hotels ontology harmoniously incorporates diverse support systems to ensure seamless operations for the hotel guests. The creation of this OWL ontology involves integrating elements related to the construction of the building and tunnel, offering a lucid representation of the primary classes. Diligence was applied to minimize duplicative information, and additional classes were introduced to address the requirements of the integrated system. Object properties were employed to establish linkages between classes originating from distinct ontologies, enhancing the overall comprehension of Hotels and its constituent parts.
Integration Challenge:
In the realm of urban construction, the ability to look at the big picture is just as important as focusing on individual details. That’s where our Combined Ontologies for Urban Infrastructure come into play. This report dives into a unified framework we’ve pieced together from different areas of civil engineering, including skyscrapers, swimming pools, tunnels, and retaining walls. By linking these areas, we’re setting the stage for smarter planning, designing, and building in our cities.
Development of the Ontology:
The aim of merging ontologies was to create a clear and complete main class structure. To do this, we carefully checked the four combined ontologies and removed any extra or unnecessary classes. These classes give a full view of the system, helping to organize and standardize information and data. This organized approach improves our understanding of the system and helps in making better decisions. This made the overall structure of the ontology simpler. To make the integration stronger, we used object properties to connect classes from different ontologies. The data properties in the combined ontology are vital for describing the shape and size of the different parts of the integrated urban system. The result is an easier-to-understand and well-organized ontology, making it simpler to grasp information and data about the integrated system.
