Abstract

This papers objective was the development of an ontology-based Content Delivery Portal (CDP) in combination with use cases. The aim was to find out how to enrich content in general through an ontology and to investigate the added value of ontologies. In particular, it has been researched how content can be delivered in CDP via an ontological context. The focus of the research team was on the knowledge builder of the ontology system manufacturer i-views for modelling the ontology and embedding content. Furthermore, the research team planned a CDP and implemented the model in the CDP i-views content. To accomplish this, use cases for users in the context of smart homes were developed to derive which information users want and when and how to grant access to the desired content. The implementation in the CDP was fully based on the ontology which was developed over the course of the project. Although the research team presumes that part of the implementation could have been realised with metadata from a CMS, the ontology can be used to provide context information that goes beyond the metadata that is traditionally assigned to individual topics in a CMS.

Highlights

  • The volume and complexity of products has risen sharply in recent years – as a result of industrial digitalization and globalization

  • We have shown the key steps for planning a Content Delivery Portal (CDP) based on an ontology and use cases

  • Users benefit from modular content and annotated metadata that is presented within the CDP

Summary

Introduction

The volume and complexity of products has risen sharply in recent years – as a result of industrial digitalization and globalization. Users consume products differently than before and have increased expectations of companies in terms of information procurement [1]. In order to create and manage this increasingly large amount of information, there are different ways of content management and delivery to support both users and companies with this process. The aim of the hereby presented paper was to research intelligent information in the context of smart homes with a focus on exploring the value that ontologies could add in connection with content delivery. The research team gives an overview of the main results and aspects of ontologies and use cased based planning of content delivery. The authors of this paper worked with the content management system Smart Media Creator, provided by Expert Communication Systems GmbH, with the ontology software i-views knowledge builder and with the content delivery portal i-views content, provided by intelligent views GmbH
