Adoption

Our visual notation is being used to develop ontologies in the following projects and is part of the suite of tools of the Linked Open Terms methodology.

• BIMERR
  

  BIMERR is a EU funded project which aims to provide a suite of interoperable tools to support AEC stakeholders throughout the energy efficiency renovation process of existing buildings.

• SAREF
  

  The Smart Applications REFerence (SAREF) ontology is a shared model of consensus that facilitates the matching of existing assets in the smart applications domain. The following modules / extensions of the SAREF ontology were constructed using our notation: SAREF Core, SAREF4Building, SAREF4Envi, SAREF4City, SAREF4Agri, SAREF4Wear, SAREF4Water

• DELTA
  

  DELTA is an EU funded project under Horizon 2020. It proposes a demand-response management platform that introduces scalability and adaptiveness into the Aggregator’s DR toolkits.

• VICINITY
  

  VICINITY is an EU funded project under Horizon 2020. It proposes a platform and ecosystem that provides “interoperability as a service” for infrastructures in the Internet of Things.

• EASYTV
  

  EasyTV is a H2020 European project which main goal is to provide equal access to television and audio-visual services to that all users, especially persons with disabilities and users with special needs.
