In 2019/2020 I designed and built a proof of concept for Smart City digital twins, smart city ontologies and smart city cyber security threats between connected vehicles and city infrastructure. The project used smart city domain ontologies for vehicles and city infrastructure in an attempt to build knowledge graph representations of asset-to-asset threats and make associations or inferences of possible outcomes. The ontologies were built using Protege, data was built up in CSV format and the ontologies and data were ingested and analysed by Neo4j Bloom and the Nesosemantic Plugin. I put a PDF overview of the project on this blog.
In 2022 I am about to revise and update the themes and create a second Proof of Concept project using new ontologies, new data types and new technologies. This time I will develop the POC in Stardog. I also plan to update the Neo4j POC with the new ontologies and data models. Again the theme of this new POC is to look at the application of ontologies to support the analysis of smart city domains and cyber security threats. In addition to the design of the POC, I also plan to see how the emerging Smart City Ontology Standards – as per the symposium – can help in the approach.
