CommunicationConnection

Label: Communication Connection

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/CommunicationConnection

The class of communication connections between communication devices. a communication connection describes the information flows between the communication devices it connects. For example, the following RDF graph states that a 802.11a (WiFi) connection connects two :

  <wifi_connection_12> a seas:CommunicationConnection ;
    seas:connectsSystem <waterSmartMeter> , <smartHMS> .

Only communication devices and communication connection points are connected through a communication connection. A connection between communication devices is not necessarily a communication connection.

Any communication device that exchanges information through a communication connection is connected at least through one of its communication connection points to the communication connection: if:

  <waterSmartMeter> a seas:CommunicationDevice .
  <wifi_connection_12> a seas:CommunicationConnection .
  <waterSmartMeter> seas:connectedThrough <wifi_connection_12> .

then there exists _:communicationConnectionPoint such that:

  _:communicationConnectionPoint a seas:CommunicationConnectionPoint ;
    seas:connectionPointOf <waterSmartMeter> ;
    seas:connectsSystemThrough <wifi_connection_12> .

communicatesWith

Label: communicates with

IRI: https://w3id.org/seas/communicatesWith

Links a communication device to another communication device it exchanges information with.

For example, for information to flow between a water smart meter and a smart home management system, then they must share a communication connection:

  <waterSmartMeter> a seas:CommunicationDevice .
  <smartHMS> a seas:CommunicationDevice .
  <waterSmartMeter> seas:communicatesWith <smartHMS> . 

This property can be further specialized to describe the communication protocol used. For example, sub property seas:communicatesIn80211aWith links a communication device to another communication device it exchanges information with using WiFi 802.11a norm.

This property can be qualified using class seas:CommunicationConnection, which connects (at least) the two communication systems. If there is a communication connection between several communication devices, then one may infer these communication devices can exchange information.
