  • 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. The range of…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Last week i attended the online Smart City Ontology webinar which was arranged over the 22nd and 23rd of September 2022.

  • I have published an overview of a POC i have been recently working on, under the Digital Twin menu, to determine how the design of several Digital Twins in Protege, as an OWL ontology, can then be used to examine data models and make inferences to further context and reference details. The data is analysed…

  • This is a fascinating session on the use of Digital Twins. It features the development of a Digital Twin though the RealEstateCore Ontology, MS Azure Digital Twin platform and the WillowTwin platform https://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Internet-of-Things-Show/Azure-Digital-Twins-for-smart-buildings-A-look-into-WillowTwin-solution/player

  • I recently came across the Centre for Digital Built Britain, a major programme to advance the development of a digital Great Britain. The Centre for Digital Built Britain is a partnership between the Department of Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy and the University of Cambridge to understand how the construction and infrastructure sectors could use a…

  • Whilst i didn’t get the chance to attend all of the sessions today i was very impressed with those i did attend. I did enjoy the opening session – A Conversation with Minister Takuya Hirai: a New Digitalization Strategy for Japan – and in particular their plans for a Digital Agency and the principles they…
