Z-BRE4K mapped on
Integration level interoperability

Ontology-based data integration is part of the Z-BRE4K solution. Ontology effectively combines data and/or information from multiple heterogeneous sources. The ontology semantics used by SPL program is described through OWL. OWL follows the RDF syntax, so SPARQL is suitable for seamlessly querying the ontology defined by OWL. SPARQL will be used as the transformation language for converting Semantic data to corresponding syntax data. IDS connectors are used in Z-BRE4K to guarantee the interoperability among the various components that are not part of the Industrial Data Space. Part of connectors functionality is to transform data to/from NGSI format data in order to be shared by the ORION context broker.
