Soupa and Integration of Ontologies Verl for Conceptualizing Contexts in Video Surveillance and Ubiquitous Computing

Abstract

Research describes the design and Ontology for Ubiquitous Surveillance Systems (OSU). OSU arises from the combination of Video Event Ontology (VEO), used generally to conceptualize events surveillance [2] with Standard Ontology for Ubiquitous and Pervasive Applications (SOUPA), used generally to conceptualize events ubiquitous computing [3]. The goal of combining VEO and SOUPA is complementarity, because there classes SOUPA that can be used to describe events surveillance (Person, for example), while there are classes VEO that can be used to describe events ubiquitous computing (Object, for example). OSU allowed understand and conceptualize, better, the events recorded in CASAS [4] projects and start [5].
