Abstract

In the context of Internet of Things, being able to search for connected devices on the internet based on their semantic allows discovering required devices based on specific application requirements. However the current semantic discovery approaches still depend on specific set of vocabularies used by device developers to describe devices. This paper presents a cycle of design, implementation and evaluation of a system that can be used to discover connected devices described by different terminologies. The device descriptions are homogenized using a best effort approach based on searching synonyms and abbreviations in online dictionaries, as well as using existing controlled vocabularies with terms and synonyms that can be used interchangeably within specific application domain. This information is stored in a local ontology that is extended dynamically with metadata and terminology when new devices are connected. Subjective evaluations with users showed their satisfaction regarding the usability of the system. Tested users also considered that the structure of the ontology is simple to understand and able to cover the description of several different devices.

用术语同义词扩展语义设备发现

在物联网的背景下，能够基于语义在互联网上搜索连接的设备，可以根据特定的应用需求发现所需的设备。然而，目前的语义发现方法仍然依赖于设备开发人员用来描述设备的特定词汇集。本文介绍了一个系统的设计、实现和评估周期，该系统可用于发现由不同术语描述的连接设备。通过在在线词典中搜索同义词和缩写，以及使用现有的受控词汇表(其中包含在特定应用程序域中可互换使用的术语和同义词)，使用尽力而为的方法对设备描述进行同质化。此信息存储在本地本体中，当连接新设备时，该本体使用元数据和术语进行动态扩展。用户的主观评价显示了他们对系统可用性的满意程度。测试用户还认为本体的结构简单易懂，能够涵盖几种不同设备的描述。
