scope:

The present document specifies the functional requirements for a set of reference ontology patterns for the SAREF semantic model, along with guidelines for developing extensions to this semantic model for multiple engineering-related verticals. The present document has been developed leveraging the experience of the EUREKA ITEA 12004 SEAS (Smart Energy Aware Systems) project, and the development of the OGC&W3C SSN (Semantic Sensor Network) ontology. It illustrates the applications of the guidelines with use cases for Smart Energy, Smart Building, and Industry of the Future/Industry 4.0 verticals. The associated ETSI TS 103 548 [i.1] will define the update to SAREF and its extensions based on the requirements and guidelines specified in the present document.
