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
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 … Continue reading Digital Twin Proof of Concept using Neo4j and Protege
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
For an overview of this concept, I am going to reference an article written by Dave McComb called The Enterprise Ontology. It offers a good description of an Enterprise Ontology as well as some very good reasons as to why an organisation, and in this case a City or the City Administration, should build one. The … Continue reading Learning from an Enterprise Ontology
If there is one lesson to learn from the cyber security incidents that have plagued public and private organisations it is a problem of the lack of knowledge of assets, appropriate configurations and impact assessments. Asset and configuration management has over, the last 20 years, been a troubling story and cyber attacks have benefited from … Continue reading Smart City Cyber Security Ontology
As Smart Cities develop, the relationship between the Home, Communities and the City as a whole will become ever more integrated and connected. Each of these can be viewed independently, paired or all together when considering the specific threat environment and landscape. By threat environment and landscape i mean the broader make up of the … Continue reading Connected Homes, Communities and Cities Threat Environment
