Ontology conformance

Conformance results between SSN requirements and the SAREF ontology.


Shared requirements

The following table lists the SSN ontology requirements and whether the SAREF ontology satisfies them.

There are four possible results for each requirement:

  • : The requirements is passed by the ontology
  • Undefined: There are terms in the requirements that are not defined in the ontology
  • : The are relations and restrictions in the requirements that are absent in the ontology
  • : There is a conflict between the requirement and the ontology

Shared terms

The following table lists the terms that are defined in the SAREF and in the SSN ontology.

Term in SSN Term in SAREF
ssn:Actuator saref:Actuator
ssn:Property saref:Property
ssn:Sensor saref:Sensor

Metrics

The following table summarises the metrics related to the conformance between the SAREF requirements and the SSN ontology

Metric Result
Percentage of covered requirement 11.76%
Percentage of requirements with terms that are undefined in the SSN ontology 88.23%
Percantge of requirements that lead to conflict between the SAREF and the SSN ontology 0%
