This week I attended the MOVE conference, held at Excel London, which was an event focusing on the future of mobility. The conference brought together leading experts, innovators, and thought leaders from various industries, including transportation, technology, and urban planning. The event focused on solutions for transportation challenges in an increasingly connected world. Overall, I … Continue reading MOVE Conference, Excel London June 21st

To follow on from the previous post, an application ontology is a structured representation of knowledge within a specific application domain. It captures the concepts, relationships, and properties relevant to the domain and provides a common understanding of the data and its context. If we consider the broad Risk and Threat Domains application ontologies are able … Continue reading Competence Questions for a Smart City Cybersecurity Application Ontology
Part of this POC is to understand how Domain Ontologies such as a Smart City Ontology - and there are a few now in the public domain - can work with specific Application Ontologies such as a Smart City Cybersecurity Ontology. To do that I need to build up particular Competency Questions to help define … Continue reading Competence Questions for a Smart City Domain Ontology
I am designing a range of domain ontologies which will cover subjects like Risk, Threat, Vulnerability and Asset specifically for Application Ontologies that support Smart City Cybersecurity requirements. The scope of this is as follows: Domain Ontology: A domain ontology captures the fundamental concepts, relationships, and properties of a particular domain. It represents the shared … Continue reading How Domain and Application Ontologies work together
Following on from the previous article, Domain ontology are supported by application ontology and work together to provide a comprehensive and context-specific representation of knowledge within a specific domain and its corresponding application. Application ontologies provide a particular solution by facilitating data integration, knowledge sharing, and semantic interoperability within cybersecurity knowledge and operations capability. This … Continue reading Application Ontology and Smart City Cyber Security
As the Smart City threat landscape continues to expand, it has become increasingly important to employ effective strategies that maximise our understanding of the data we produce. One such strategy is the use of domain ontologies, which play a crucial role in enhancing cybersecurity knowledge and decisions making efforts. I will explore the significance of … Continue reading Use of domain ontologies for Smart City Cybersecurity
Smart cities are transforming urban landscapes around the world, leveraging the power of the Internet of Things (IoT) to improve efficiency, sustainability, and the quality of life. In this post, I will explore the diverse range of IoT device domains that will form domain ontologies to support cyber security monitoring and detection. Smart Sensors Domain: … Continue reading Scope of smart city domain ontologies for cyber security
The increasing development of cyber-physical technology in a smart city means an equal increase in the threat landscape and risk of cyber attack. The UK Government has recently published an interesting paper on the vision of cyber-physical infrastructure. This PDF covers the diverse range of capabilities offered by cyber-physical technologies including some interesting semantic topics … Continue reading Smart City Cyber Security Ontology and Inferencing Proof of Concept overview.
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 … Continue reading New Proof of Concept (POC) with STARDOG and knowledge graph development
Last week i attended the online Smart City Ontology webinar which was arranged over the 22nd and 23rd of September 2022. Here is a link to the Agenda and hopefully, at some point, the recordings or the presented papers will be available. Presentations were provided by several of the Standards working groups and detailed specific … Continue reading Ontology Standards collaboration for Smart Cities and Smart City Systems
