Constructing an Office Domain Ontology using Knowledge Engineering Process

Abstract

Knowledge-based identification of human activities in systems depends primarily on rich contextual domain knowledge casing all of the information about the human, objects around human and also relations among them. Knowledge engineering plays an important role in building knowledge-based expert systems, to solve complex problems such as human activity recognition. This requires formal representation of the knowledge which is based on the conceptualization of the domain. Ontology is a widely chosen representational model that depicts knowledge as a set of concepts. In this work, we have applied knowledge engineering process for constructing the domain ontology of the office environment in agreement with the ontology development life cycle
