Abstract

IoT-D ontology reprensents contextual data that allows inference of dependencies between IoT devices across heteregenous DM solutions managed by multiple actors.

Table of contents

Introduction back to ToC

IoT-D ontology describes IoT dependencies and their context that are distributed across heterogenous DM solutions. It allows the documentation and the characterization of IoT dependencies at diffrent levels at the device, the application, and the physical environment levels. It is designed to supports decision-making when addressing dependencies-related threats such as Cascading Failure.

IoT dependencies ontology: Description back to ToC

Conceptually, the IoT-D ontology includes three modules: 1) Device-Device Interaction module: describes the capabilities of IoT devices in terms of service provisioning and usage to model the context of direct dependencies. It is based on the enrichment of the SAREF ontology by describing the direct exchange of services between devices through the relation IoTD:consumes and specializing the saref:Service and saref:Device to account for connectivity devices and services, allowing inference of service and connectivity dependencies; 2) Device-Environment interaction module: represents, using the SAREF ontology, the interaction of devices within the physical environment through sensing and ac- tuation, enabling the inference of environment-based dependencies; 3) Device- Application interaction module: describes device interactions in IoT applications. Based on the EuPont ontology, an IoT application is represented using a set of IoTD:Rule and IoTD:Action that are executed by saref:Service. IoTD:Rule is in the form if (IoTD:Trigger ) then IoTD:Action. Triggers are related to a change in devices state saref:State. This trigger-action-based model allows representing state dependencies between devices i.e. when an IoT application acts on one device based on the state of another. Also, it allows the representation of implicit service dependencies in the form of data flows between IoTD:Action, using the class dk:DataFlow of the DK Ontology.
