Abstract

Urban environments are urgently required to become smarter. However, building advanced applications on the Internet of Things requires seamless interoperability. This paper proposes a water knowledge management platform which extends the Internet of Things towards a Semantic Web of Things, by leveraging the semantic web to address the heterogeneity of web resources. Proof of concept is demonstrated through a decision support tool which leverages both the data-driven and knowledge-based programming interfaces of the platform. The solution is grounded in a comprehensive ontology and rule base developed with industry experts. This is instantiated from GIS, sensor, and EPANET data for a Welsh pilot. The web service provides discoverability, context, and meaning for the sensor readings stored in a scalable database. An interface displays sensor data and fault inference notifications, leveraging the complementary nature of serving coherent lower and higher-order knowledge.
